The Fundrasing Time is Now!
Excitingly and nervously we are nearing the end of our paper chase for our dossier. Off goes our immigration paperwork at the beginning of next week and all we have left to do is wait for the return of the immigration form we need. If all goes well we hope to have our Dossier completed by mid January. With this said a referral of a child is fast approaching and therefore we are wondering if you are interested in giving to something that lasts this holiday season. A life is eternal; a sweater or newest gadget is only here and now. We can't tell you how thankful we are for any donation or purchase you make towards our next little one!
Fundraiser #1 Coffee! www.justlovecoffee.com/jonandjolene
We automatically receive $5 for any bag you buy so order up some for your holiday get together and know your coffee is making a difference!
We still have $20,000 including travel left to raise. We have already applied to one grant and plan on applying to three more. However, they all required our home study so we have had to wait to apply them. Some may think this is a ridiculous amount but I would be so bold as to say many have spent this on a car or boat or some other material thing. So why when it comes to a life are we unwilling to give all we have. We will "pay" all we have for our children for their lives are priceless and eternal and there is never an amount that would be too much for them.

Fundraiser #2 Silpada Jewelery! www.mysilpada.com/candice.gatchek
Jolene's Aunt has generously opened the sales of her Silpada Jewelery for a special onetime adoption fundraiser! She has agreed to donate %30 of the sales to our adoption. This jewelry is beautiful and there is a purpose behind it. When you wear or give your new piece of Jewelery remember you helped bring an orphan into a forever family. Check out her website above where you can browse the jewelry and contact her to purchase some. Click on the catalog below to go to her website!

Thanksgiving!
Here are some photo's from Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving at Jon's parents home and were able to also have my parents there as well as Jon's two Great Aunts. Everyone was wonderful and we enjoyed getting to catch up with Jon's Aunts. Who are so sweet and really loved Talo. They day was a little overwhelming for Talo to say the least but we had a wonderful time and enjoyed being with all our family! Enjoy the pics.
Sitting down to eat! Karen made a yummy Thanksgiving Dinner!
Just the Three of Us!
Jon's side of the family!
My parents, we wish you were here Auntie Jamie!
This has nothing to do with Thanksgiving but its too cute not to put in! Tiger and Talo the two peas in a pod!
