Waiting for Glory: Month Two

Glory raked in some big bucks this month! Our Beard for Glory campaign wrapped up last week at a total of about $4,600, we've received about $1,700 toward our $3,000 matching grant from the Orphan Care Alliance and today we got a $2,000 check in the mail from Families Outreach. Not a bad month!

Unfortunately, not much progress has been made on the process side of things... I did get Wallace homestudy number seven in the mail today so that is something. Next week it along with our fifth (six?) dossier will begin the long journey to the DRC. Goodbye paper chase, goodbye.

Since there's not much to report this month I decided to interview the kids and let them tell you what they are most excited about teaching Glory and doing with her when she gets home. Here are their unedited answers.

T: "How to walk. That is all."

Moses: "She can see my new bunk beds. I can carry her to the car. Glory will stay healthy when she gets home. I will teach her how to stand up, jump and clap. I will teach her my ninja moves." (He then demonstrated said ninja moves.)

M: "I am excited because I can rock-a-bye her. I can hold her. I can watch movies with her and show her where the jaguars are." (Note to self: Inquire about location of the jaguars.)

Meadow: "I am thankful I will rock-a-bye she. I will help her pee. I will play with she. Are we getting two kids?" NO. "Oh, I will hold she."

 And there you have it. This girl has a lot to look forward to.
