Gettin' Ready

Well, between my mom and I , we have enough clothes for thirteen little boys in Guatemala. My mission this weekend is to get his bag packed. I am also creating a scrapbook for the foster family to keep. It is fun working on it... I'll see if I can take some photos of it and post them in a few days.

Geoffrey and I are going to an Old Time Music Festival tomorrow. He has been practicing his banjo all day...I think he may enter the competition. That will be fun. I'll let you know how that turns out!

Disposable Cameras

Well, I think I told you guys that on our first visit trip we left several cameras with the foster family. We wanted to have pictures to show Jonas of the time he spent with Gloria, Marco and Tommy. We got three full rolls back and I have narrowed them down to the cutest ones!! There are a couple shots with other people in them that we do not know... I will get their identities on this trip. Enjoy!

Shopping

Mom and I went shopping yesterday looking for PJ's for the boy. At several different times I became overhwhelmed with sadness. I saw the tiny clothes and longed for all that I have missed; his first smile, the first time he babbled...sigh. I know that isn't going to matter once he gets home...but this is the hard part, the ache inside that no one can see.

I am so looking forward to this next trip...I am thrilled that mom gets to meet Jonas.

...and some more

A big ol' thank you to Grandpa Adams for sending us some dough. The trip is 3/4 of the way paid for. I am sooooooooo grateful to everyone for their support.

...and some more

Big shout outs today go to Wilma and David Lee (Geoffrey's step-grandparents out in Wisconsin), Jennie & Phil Hissom and Dan and Julie (I have no idea who they are...but their post mark is from Ft. Collins so they must be friends with Margie, Vince and AJ). Identify yourselves people!!

I am SOOOOOOOO Overwhelmed with the response we are getting. The trip is about 50% funded now. AMAZING

Thank you thank you thank you!!! xoxoxo

....and receive some more

Gotta send a (correctly spelled) shout out to Paul, Kristin and Riley Jeanne for stopping by during American Idol to contribute to the "go see Jonas' fund". For those of you that don't know, Paul and Kristin are our newest (and coolest) friends, they just had a baby...Riley Jeanne who is the newest (and coolest) baby girl I know. Thanks guys!

Now we are up to date

So, now all the posts bring us to today. We are still in PGN, we are planning our next visit trip April 6-11th. Jonas turns one April 9th and we will have a fiesta! We do have more pictures to share. At the first visit trip we left three disposable cameras with the foster family. In the next day or so I will post some of the pictures from those cameras.
