3 More Days and the Government Shut Down

My first child and the beloved Little Bill!

There's been an uproar about the government shut down.  Now I'm not so smart when it comes politics and governmental issues (that was the class I always made a C in in school), but if it interferes with my child coming home to us from Ethiopia, then I'm gonna start getting a little bit concerned!  As you may have read in a recent post, the Ethiopian government has been shut down for about a month or so and will resume in a couple weeks.  Therefore, no children have been placed in families because paperwork cannot be processed.  So in my head I was thinking Wait a second...their government is coming off of a break, now our government is on break....how are any adoptions going to be processed!!  Thankfully just as I had that thought I received an email from our agency that said it should not affect any adoptions and everything will pick back up once the Ethiopian courts are opened again in a few weeks. Phew!

Now for the unveiling of our fourth raffle basket.....This was one of the favorites from our first corn hole tournament.  So bring your dollas to win:

Chick-fil-A!

Some lovely ladies have pulled together a bag filled with Chick-fil-A goodies,

coupons, and a gift card!

Be sure to refer back to our first blog post about the tournament for all the raffle and tournament details.  Also remember we are going to try to start as close to 3 pm as possible.  So make sure to get there a little before 3 to get signed in.

    Keep praying for it not to rain! 

Looking forward to seeing you all there--I'm so excited!
