Overwhelmed by Others' Generousity

While this heading could describe our whole adoption experience, we have recently been blessed with many items from friends.

Clothes, clothes, and more clothes! Mike and I had a BLAST looking through everything and sorting it all by size to put in drawers. If these all fit, Ryan should be set for winter! And there are enough pajamas for John too! Thanks Tracy and Kathy!!!
These items traveled back with us from Ohio where some friends of ours live. In addition to these fun toys are a toilet seat, bike carrier which attaches to one of our bikes (Mike has so wanted one!), and a wooden chair which will go with an old fashioned desk we have. Thanks Brad, Jenny, Jordyn, Josie, and Brock!!















Mike had a little free time one day:

In addition, a bag of 4T shirts, pants, socks, and shoes showed up on our porch step this week. Not sure who they are from (if someone told me they were going to bring them by, sorry, I can't remember!)

Finally, a friend had a new furnace put in last week and used the company we have used in the past and recommended to her, JM Heating here in Grayslake. She said we might receive a financial gift as a thank you from them. The company did a check of our address to verify that we were still here and were led by their search to this blog. So not only did we receive a check for $50 but also a beautiful note and congratulations gift, a complimentary furnace tune up so our furnace will be "in tip top shape for [our] sons' arrival." This brought tears to my eyes!!

We are blown away by the kindness of others and so humbled by their love for us. We have so, so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!!!
