We are home!

We have been home 3 days now and been very busy. Feiley is doing better and better each day. She still cries alot but that is understandable. If you think about all she has been through the past 18 months- having a birth mom, being abandoned, taken to police station, lived in orphanage, lived in foster care, back into orphanage, then these blonde haired people come and take her to two different hotels, airplane rides, car rides, into a new home with two blonde brothers, a huge blonde dog, new smells, food, climate- you can see why shes a little out of whack. She is so cute and loves music and to dance. Will post pictures as soon as I can. We are totally in love with her.

Feileys Lemonade Stand!

I have to apologize for just now posting what we did with the money we raised while waiting for Feiley. Our original intention was to to buy blankets and clothes to take to Feileys orphange. However, we were told to not give gifts directly to the orphanage as the children there might not ever benefit from them. We were told to use an organized non profit group. So, we are happy to say that after months of research, we decided to sponsor a child in China who needs heart surgery, just as Feiley did. We have donated the money to Stephen Curtis Chapmans organization in China called "Show Hope". A child who needs open heart surgery will now be able to get it through our donation in Feileys name. We are so happy to be able to do this and know that the Lord will use the money to help an orphan who might not other wise live due to not being able to have the surgery. Thank you to everyone who helped give. You have helped save a childs life.

In the past month, Josh and Zach have raised about $250 more dollars! We did another lemonade stand at the beach and at home. This past Tuesday, I had a Southern Living fundraiser party and we raised about $200! Thank you to all who have helped with our fundraiser to buy clothes and blankets for Feileys orphan friends!

Update! The boys took "Feileys Lemonade Stand" to the beach house over vacation and raised $100 more dollars! Lets see how much we can raise before we travel to pick up Feiley!
Zach raised $50.00 in two days with his Lemonade stand to benefit the orphans in China. All money raised will go towards "blankies" for the children in Feiley's orphanage- Kunming Childrens Welfare Institute. Let us know if you would like to contribute! Thank you!!
