In 5 days...

we will have been waiting 2 months for our referral. With the end of summer and beginning of school, it has gone by rather quickly. Our agency is still holding to a 6 to 8 month referral wait time. I will say that this time around (compared to waiting for Lindsey) I am a bit more sane. I would like to attribute this to my trust in the Lord's timing for our family...I find it somewhat easy every time I see my children together and the ease to which Lindsey fits in. There is such comfort in watching the four of them snuggle, play and fight equally!

To mark the 2 month wait, I'm thinking we need a
GiVe AwAy!!!!

During the next 5 days, become a follower or leave me a comment with your name or something so you can get entered in.
Winner gets to choose their choice of a "got love?" tote, travel mug or t-shirt!!

*Let's make this a crazy week to order, too. If you order a "got love?" item, I will put in two bonus entries for your chance to win a free item.

*if you have been thinking of ordering....this is a great week to do it!!

*winner will be chosen on Sunday! (If you are already a follower you don't need to do anything...but I do LOVE when you all leave comments...it lets me know someone out there is reading my posts!! :)

Happy fall and two months closer!!

  14. How lucky am I (I should say blessed) to have stumbled across your blog just in time for a giveaway. We are in the process of adopting from China (we hope to be LID in the next few weeks), and you have lots of great fundraising ideas. We're designing tshirts now that will soon be featured on my blog: http://griffandemgrowing.blogspot.com
    Thanks for the ideas and your passion for adoption.
