guess what...

We bought a new crib for Chuck last weekend, and it looks great. Sweet Dreams Baby Boutique (http://www.shopsweetdreams.com/) had a sale going on, and we couldn’t pass this crib up. Dustin, one of the owners, was very helpful and we will definitely go back. Also, a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has purchased our hand-made blankets. Your generosity and support allowed us this opportunity. Thank you again so much!

stop by & meet us

If you are looking for a fun time this Saturday (Sept 27), stop down at Old Boys’ Brewhouse in Spring Lake for their annual Woofstock event. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event, Old Boys’ opens up their lawn for a day of doggy fun. Bring down your pooch and enjoy some great food and beverages. There will be live music and local merchants will be on-hand. Also, we will have a table set up to show off the beautiful baby blankets that Jami has been working on, and to answer any questions you may have about our adoption. Stop by, say “hi” and place an order…Christmas really isn’t too far away, and the blankets make great gifts.

busy, busy, busy

The blanket sales have been going great, please keep them coming. I currently have 7 on order and am busy working on those. The lead times have been increased a bit, but we're working as fast as we can. Please be sure to order early for showers, etc.

good news

There were 2 referrals this week! There are still 2 families waiting since September 2007, but it's only the middle of September...

waiting...

I have to admit I’ve become very obsessive about checking the BCS blog to check on referrals. I’m also checking the BCS chat board to hopefully see that one new post that says REFERRAL. Not too much going on with either one right now; it’s been pretty quiet. There have been a couple of referrals reported, and families continue to wait from September 2007.

Please keep good thoughts and crossed fingers for us and all of the many other anxious families that are waiting to hear about their babies.

sale

I am now scheduled to be at the Deer Hunter's Widow shopping day at Old Boys' Brewhouse November 15th from 11-4. I will be selling the baby blankets and also fleece snowmen I make, they are very cute.

slow going

It's been pretty quite as far as referrals go; there were 4 referrals in August and now are 4 families waiting from September 2007. We've been trying to keep busy though. We're getting things done around the house that we won't be able to after we bring Chuck home, and a few things we've been putting off. We are also busy filling out grant applications...every little bit helps as far as money goes.
