iPad/Wii Drawing

     Thank you so much to all of you who participated in our iPad/Wii Raffle!  Congratulations to Dina M., winner of the Wii, and to Kacie N., winner of the iPad!  Overall, we raised $970. I will post the videos shortly so that you can watch the video of each drawing.
     I was hoping that I could tell you that we have a date to start our homestudy by this point, but apparently we are playing the waiting game again - my favorite.  Our homestudy was supposed to start in September, but here we are in October.  If ever there was a lesson in how I could depend on other people to get things done, this adoption process wouldn't be it.  As soon as we hear anything about a date, I will post something to let you know. 
     The room that we are standing in during the drawing is our future child's room.  It is all pink right now, but it will not be staying that way for long.  Once we begin our homestudy, I will be going to town painting that bedroom in green and yellow to match the Winnie the Pooh theme that we have had picked out for the last five years.  I will post pictures when it is finished.  I can't wait to wake up to a baby in a crib, surrounded by Winnie the Pooh!  I love the way that the morning sun pours into that room, and every time I walk by it I can just picture starting my day in that room with our precious little gift from God. 
     Thanks again to everyone who participated in the raffle and brought us a little bit closer to bringing our baby home.  Congratulations to the winners!
