I realized that I haven't posted this week! So highlights:
Aaron is with the girls at the daddy/daughter dance right now. It was supposed to be a best dress dance, but Sarah was NOT going to wear a dress. Becca did.
I have been on pinterest a lot. I have made 2 scarfs, 3 flower headbands this week and a baby present. One scarf I made was from a old pit stained tee shirt and it turned out really cute! I think I may have to make these with the Laurels.
I have a friend who is in the process of adopting a baby from China. She already adopted one little boy last year and felt so compelled to adopt another (they both have down syndrome and were 6 and 9) The 9 year old was the 6 year olds "big brother" in the orphanage. Each child was about 30,000 to adopt and so they have been doing all they can to scrape together enough money to adopt the second child. I showed the kids her website http://bringmhome.blogspot.com/ and all my kids emptied their coins from their piggy banks and I told the young women about her (she is the second counselor in the stake YW presidency) and they all brought their spare change and we collected about $100. Then on Tuesday we brought her cards and the jar of money. It felt so good to be a part of someone else's joy!
