Three Months Waiting

Today marks 3 months of being DTE!!!! We are thankful that time continues to fly by and we are now another month closer to meeting our child/ren. Since the Ethiopian courts have reopened a few families have been scheduled their court dates, but there are many families still awaiting their dates and there haven't been many referrals given out recently. Our unofficial numbers are still 11 for a boy, 14 for a girl, and 7 for siblings. Please continue to pray for the Ethiopian courts to get things moving so all these children can get home with their forever families!!!

One thing I have been squeezing into my already busy schedule is trying to get some sewing done. Now, let me say that I am not really a sewer. My mom taught me and my sister the basics when we were younger, but that was a long time ago. So I've just thought it would be fun to start again. I figured moms need to know how to sew, right? I got a sewing machine for Christmas 2008. This summer (2010) I had to ask my wonderful mother-in-law to come over and help me figure out how to thread it. Then it took me about 2 months to go by some fabric. Now I have made a few baby blankets and a couple shirts for my nieces 1st birthday. I am by no means a professional, but I don't think they look too bad. A baby surely won't complain about them at least.
