Anybody want some lemonade?

These two sweet faces wanted to do some fundraising for our sweet Maggie. 


Their momma had a yard sale and they set up this lil' lemonade stand.....let me tell you - it was no little lemonade stand.  In two days, these kiddos raised $68 dollars for our adoption!

I was very humbled (once again) in seeing these kids sit out in the hot sun and push lemonade for our baby girl.  They worked very hard.  So, thank you Whitney Kids! You two are some pretty special kiddos.

We are waiting....

You know I want to share words on this blog that are full of content and emotion....cause hey, that is the kinda girl I am....but to be honest, I got nothing.  We are waiting.  It's not easy all the time.  We know that the girl that is to enter our home and be called Maggie is on the other side of the world.  We go on our normal routine and our normal lives.  There are moments when it is very real and possible to me that she is hurting, she is hungry, she is scared and alone.  There are things that bring it right to the forefront of my mind and this is an example of that.

It's hard for all of us to see outside of our back door.....take a moment and try.
