Having someone to love is FAMILY. Having somewhere to go is HOME. Having both is a BLESSING.
We ARE SO BLESSED!

TOOFERS!

Nevaeh wants you to know that she is a big girl now! She has her first wittle toofer and the second one is not very far behind!!
Of course you can't see it in her smile yet but she doesn't know that so we won't tell her! She'll also be crawling before too long! What fun!!


Some of you wanted to know what her room looked like so I took a couple of pics. Her room is decorated in country antiques with distressed finished furniture. We use shaggy bears and the old shaggy Raggedy Ann and Andy. The diaper stacker is an old fruit box. And it took me 26 hours, I think, to braid and sew together the braided rug in front of her dresser/changing table. The old keg is her hamper!

The dresser and crib were not a matching set but with a lot of stripping, sanding & refinishing, I was able to make them look like they were meant to be together.



Robert made the wooden plaque for me for Mother's Day and my birthday which are close together. He used his carving tools and wood burner and then stained and varnished it! A lot of little boy time and love went into this precious gift. Nevaeh's room was the perfect residing place for a gift of such value. Yes, for those of you who noticed and were wondering. The spools of thread are on the old wooden spools with the original wrappings. The price was only 35 cents. I found them cleaning an attic that no one else wanted to.
Please don't forget to pray for Nevaeh. We have an important meeting scheduled for Thursday morning @ 10:30. We don't know exactly what the meeting is about, so we are a little apprehensive, however our caseworker said that she believes the meeting will be good news since "bad news" has to be passed through her in advance. Still, we'd like you to pray!
THANKS IN ADVANCE! Y'ALL ARE GREAT FRIENDS!
