Preparing--

We are getting closer to the end of this process, hoping to get a court date assigned in the next week or two!  We are so grateful to be at this point and have our trip to get the girls becoming more of a reality.

So as we get closer, we begin to prepare---

A friend hosted a garage sale for us which was a great success!  Thanks so much Laurie!

Ellie and Isabella sold out of their baked goods before the day was over on Friday and sold many Rainbow Loom bracelets.  Thank you girls for all your hard work!  And thanks Hazel for donating the Rainbow Loom gymnasts---they were all sold by Saturday noon.  And a final thank you to the many people who donated items to sell and to Tammy for letting us take over her garage.

Bill and his brother started to put together a swingset---what fun all the kids will have on this!

 Many hands make light work.  This is a "puzzle project"---a custom made swingset with no directions and only two pictures to work off of.  Thanks Jim for your help in figuring it out!!

And we've had some fun finally being outside---what a long winter!

And made lots of art items--
