Registration Day 2…

We hit 100 today–and we decided to see if we could increase our numbers a bit to allow a few more mommies to join us! For right now–we are opening it up to 150 mommies!!! Currently we have about 110 signed up—so 40 more spots are open!

I was just sent a link to your blog and info about the retreat. I would LOVE to attend, just checking dates. What a beautiful idea. We jsut returned from China with our daughter, Claire, and are on the waiting list for Ethiopia. 🙂 I NEED to be with other adoptive mommas! And to retreat? Would LOVE it!

If I can attend, I’d be happy to help. We live in Kennesaw.

Just added myself as a follower of your blog.

Can you do a post on how the t-shirts run, if you know any more info on them? Would love to get them and wondering if they are unisex, preshrunk, etc. THanks! 🙂

Kerry Gautraud - October 21, 2010 - 4:54 am

So I have been reading your blog for months, and one of my other blog friends posted something about the retreat. So I very joking sent a link about it to my sister-in-law saying “In my dream world we would get to go to this retreat together.. would it be wonderful?”. So her and my mother-in-law actually got online and registered us for the retreat…surprise! I cried and was blown away, because I was totally joking! This is a huuuuuge blessing for me, so thanks for all you are doing for the retreat. I am waiting for our baby from Ethiopia and now I get to go on this retreat with the women in my family.. I have never felt so loved in excited, I really needed this blessing this week! THANK YOU THANK YOU! -Kerry

I am a mom to 12 children, 10 through adoption. This is my heartbeat and I love to meet others who share in this journey of love. In HIS Grace, Teresa Rima.

African Adoption Fellowship, Soccer AND a CRAZY Korah story (“It’s a Girl Thing” folks…YOU GOTTA read this!)

Melissa is one of my dearest friends (far left) and they are waiting as patiently as they can for court dates for their PRECIOUS son, Charles Tucker, in Uganda. (She got her referral BEFORE we traveled […]

Wow!! TOTAL God moment, LOVE it!

Jen Morgan - October 18, 2010 - 7:49 am

found you through Emily A’s blog roll. Loved your post and even those of your sweet friends. Particularly loved the Korah story. I love seeing His fingerprints. He is in the details-something we saw countless times in our adoption.

Larisa Maibach - October 18, 2010 - 7:59 am

Don’t you just love watching God work! Thanks for sharing such a great story…and all of the cute pics of the family, of course!

Jenny - October 18, 2010 - 8:27 am

Tisha Alexander - October 18, 2010 - 3:24 pm

That Korah story… wow!!! I LOVE how God cares about the small things too. 🙂

Bobi Bobbitt - October 18, 2010 - 9:30 pm

I enjoy your crafty ways. I can totally appreciate the fun and work that goes along with making your own decor – I just wish that I had that talent and know-how. Looks great, Andrea!

Jenny - October 16, 2010 - 8:04 pm

I LOVE it:) I’m SOOO proud of myself. I’ve never sewn but I’m getting pretty DARN good at sewing these cloth pads!!! YAY me… hehe

Sara - October 17, 2010 - 12:18 am

That is SOOOO cute. And I am super impressed that you did an actual craft while your hubby was away! And not a glue-and-paper kind of craft either!

Megan - October 17, 2010 - 1:52 am

Is that just burlap??? I was thinkin’ about making pillows with those but worried they would be WAY too scratchy. What do You think?

Christy - October 17, 2010 - 7:16 am

ooooh so you went with that instead of the tablecloth? So cute! You’ll have to do a post sometime with tips on managing everything while your husband’s away. I know I could benefit since my hubby travels too!

Jenny - October 17, 2010 - 10:19 am

oh they’re GREAT!

Care to share your Pumpkin Bread recipe. My 2 year old and I made Zucchini Bread a few weeks ago and I’ve been on the lookout for a yummy Pumpkin Bread one.
