Thank YOU and Fundraiser Ideas

We wanted to say a HUGE HUGE HUGE 'thank you' to our friends and family who wrote our recommendations for our home study agency. You guys/gals rock. I can't even tell you how awesome you are! We love you to pieces. And for the wonderful folks who have donated already, you are equally as amazing and thoughtful. We can't get to Eastern Europe to bring Eileen home without your generosity, for which we are very grateful.

We have a couple new fundraisers posted. Check out our 'Fundraising' tab at the top of the blog. There are 'Come on Eileen' t-shirts, fair trade coffee and hopefully soon some more good stuff. What sorts of giveaways or fundraisers would you be most interested to see or participate in? Some other Reece's Rainbow families have tried iPads, Kindles, digital cameras, gift cards... even some handmade items! We need some help thinking of ideas here, so leave a comment or email me if you have some suggestions.

Also, I have gotten a few emails or comments asking me to get in contact since we put up the blog and replied back to them -- if you are waiting for a reply, please check your spam boxes for musegirl27ATaolDOTcom (replace the words with symbols). I keep my personal emails on this account, so you'd get a reply from that one and not our family Blogger/Gmail account. Please don't think I forgot anybody! I really tried to reply as quickly as possible. Hopefully you'll find me in your inbox someplace :)

IN PAPERWORK NEWS:

Finally got Dan's birth certificate copies this weekend - and they ARE legible. Woo hoo! Now waiting on his passport, which should hopefully be here soon. I emailed our loan officer at the bank to try and see who to talk to about the proof of mortgage paperwork we need from them. Haven't heard back yet. Fingers crossed!
