Garage Sale Part 1

We are gearing up for the big Garage Sale Fundraiser on Saturday. Several people have been good enough to donate their "treasures" for the sale, thank you very much! We have a couple tents up with a couple more to go tonight and tomorrow will be the big pricing day and getting everything in place. As usually happens with garage sales there will be a ton of people first thing and then it usually comes in waves. We are hoping for a rain free morning, sunny afternoon and lots of hungry folks! Rootbeer floats, hotdogs, soft drinks and water will be sold to the masses!

We finished up the home portion of the home study this week. The attorney has sent all the paperwork to birthmom to sign and return-we are praying that happens by Friday or Monday at the latest so the atty can get an appt before the judge by Thursday next week.

We received a pack of paperwork with all the court filings etc. From everything we've read, the father of the child really should have no leg to stand on as far as rights to the child. We are praying however that he simply sees the writing on the wall and signs the paperwork without incident.

In preparing the room for Molly we ran into a couple snags. While Steve attempted to hook up some new electrical in the room, he is not an electrician and when you turned the light on another light in the room went off! :-)

A dear friend of ours came right over and was able to get us all hooked up!-Thank you David!

Steve's brother Bryan came over on Sunday and put some roof patch around some vents that have been causing leaking in both Cori/Mollys room and our guest room-Thanks Bryan!

Time has grown so short that while Steve was able to hang the drywall in the room himself, he didn't think he'd be able to get it taped and mudded and looking smooth enough to paint in the time we needed. Friends Lila & Lage told us of a friend of theirs who did amazing drywall work. A call to him and the next day he and another gentleman came out and viola' Cori/Mollys room is ready for paint!! -Thank you Sam and friend!

All these people did this for only our thanks-God bless you all!

God has been good to us through the giving hands of people like those above consistently through this process and we continue to trust that He who began a good work will carry it through to completion.

Stay tuned for Garage Sale Part 2...the aftermath!
