Vacation week

This past week the kids and I took a trip with my Mom up to Washington to visit family and my hometown.  We had a busy week and loved getting together with part of the family that we rarely get to see.  We visited the beach, went swimming multiple times, walked down memory lane in my hometown, and just enjoyed a few rare days of sunshine in western Washington!  It was a long week with a lot of traveling in the family van so it was also nice to make it home yesterday and reunite with  Daddy!!!

I had an inbox full of email when I got back and in the middle of the all the messages, there was a  super exciting bit of news from Lifeline...we are out of translation!


Our dossier documents have been translated into Chinese and are now in the process of being reviewed for final approval!  These last few steps have moved very quickly.  Translation only took 10 days!  I've recently heard of people waiting more than 40 days for translation.  We are praising God that things are moving right along.


We also have a great fundraiser planned!  We are calling it "Chinese Dinner for our China Adoption".  We are working with Panda Express here in our town to hold a fundraiser on August 1st!  This one is pretty simple for those wanting to support us.  Just get a support flyer by clicking on the picture here:



Show this flyer (either on paper or on your phone) at the register when you place your order for drive-through, dine-in or catering on August 1st.  20% of the proceeds from those orders will go toward our adoption fees at Lifeline Children's Services.
