Update

Our Financial Plan to fund Larkins Family Adoption has been accepted by our caseworker, Irina. She said that she still needs to run it by the director, but thought it was really well thought out and planned. Since it took me about a month to put it all together, it was really well thought out!

We are still waiting to hear back from Wal-Mart about the part-time job for Chris. Apparently, they need to contact someone higher up in Human Services to 'drop' his name in the system from Tier 2 to Tier 1 so the management at the Sugarland store can call him in for interviews and hire him! Gotta love this technology....

Liz and I had a booth at a craft fair in the Heights last week and we did really well. Other than about 10 minutes of sprinkling rain (covered the stuff with tarps), it was a good day. We are going to be at the First United Methodist Church in Missouri City on Saturday, November 14. They have had a craft fair/festival for quite a few years now, and we are praying for a great success. Most of the vendors are selling jewelry, and our items are rather unique and we didn't see anyone last year that had stuff close to what we make. The lady that I talked with about the booth, was really excited to hear that we have baby & children's stuff. I have lots more blankets to make before the craft fair on November 14!

I have made baked goods for several people at school and will make a Chocolate Marble Cheesecake this week for our cafeteria manager.

We sold my car on October 5!!! Yeah!!! That money went straight to the savings account (Adoption Fund). Now we just need about $38,000 more......

I am working on a grant application right now; need to find papers that I thought I knew where they were filed...

Our Wish List with Wal-Mart is basically complete. Check it out sometime! I think we picked out really cute stuff for the kiddos bedroom & bathroom. Not too much out there is not gender specific! You can find it at the store or on-line under Wish List and both my name & Chris' is listed.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us and our children as we go through this process of adoption.
