Yard Sale

We are having a yard sale at mom's house June 4 and 5th. Get the word out for us. We have many baby items, household items, clothes, and some furniture. I'm excited....this is our first big fundraiser.

Update

So, I am horrible at updating the blog. I've got to get better I'm told, to help with fundraising. :)

So, fundraising...update, a precious couple in our Sunday School class recently sold some of their kid's clothes in a consignment sale and sent us the check for what they made. What a blessing!!! So, $113 and some change was added to our little girl's fund. It came at a much needed time. Since my last post we have lost a very special person to all of us. My mother-in-law ultimately won her battle with cancer on March 19. Though we hoped and prayed that the victory would occur in this world, she is sitting at the Savior's feet even as I type.

Needless to say, while she was sick, funds got a little tight and we are still catching up some. It is easy to get discouraged at times like this, when you are TRYING to save for something as important as an addition to your family. :) So, this gift was so precious to me during this time. A simple little way God was telling me He is still here and we are still on this path, even if it is painfully slow.

Another update, obviously...we have changed her name. As time passes, you may find that this happens again. I don't know right now. We'll just see. I loved the name we picked, but, I don't know. Maybe it is just all I feel we have the least bit of control over, so I change it. I don't know. Maybe I'm really just reading way too much into it. Either way, right now, we are tossing around Lucy Lee. Lucy is what Pop called Sherry all her life (Lucy Locket) and Aunt Heather was Lucy Jane. Lee is Sherry, Heather, and my mom's middle name, so Lucy Lee. Jason's dad's mom was Ellen, so we tossed around Ellen, and call her Elle, so there you go....Elle.

I'll try to do better to keep the blog updated.
