Location: The Cahill's home

GET a bag of lovingly-used women's and children clothing.
GIVE $15 at the door.
GET the blessing of helping the Coulombe family bring their daughter home from Ethiopia.

...Friends you don't want to miss this! Get some spring cleaning done and fill your bags with clothes your family is done with. Then bring your bags to Taylore's parent's house* and exchange them for some great finds! Only $15 for a bag filled with new-to-you goodies! We will also have gorgeous Ugandan necklaces available for you to purchase ($25). These necklaces were handmade by a group of women who are able to support their families by selling them to an organization, 147 Million Orphans, who then allows adopting families to sell them for profit to help raise money for their adoptions. It's a beautiful circle of blessing, and you can be a part of it!

We sincerely hope you will join us, even if you don't bring a bag, please still come. It'll be a fun morning of practically-free clothes, friends and fellowship and food, and most importantly a chance to shower Taylore and her family with love and support as they work towards bringing that baby girl home!

~ Message or Text Taylore or Sarah for the gate code.

**We suggest leaving the kiddies at home for this one. :-)

A Quick Update

We have been in Idaho just a few days shy of 7 months. That's over HALF a YEAR, people. MUCH has changed. Our daily routine? Changed. Weekend plans? Changed. People we call when we're in a jam? Changed. How we're being fed spiritually? Changed. (But not TOTALLY, because we are still being fed hearty meals from the truth of God's Word, only our "server" has changed, essentially). How we function as a family? Changed. Everything has changed.  Half a year in a new land, with new people, and a new EVERYTHING will change you. And we are okay with that. Matter of fact, we're better than okay! We scorched our way through a brutal, smoke filled August, and we are GOOD! We tip-toed into the school year in new schools, with new teachers, and new everything , and we are good! A couple kids even won awards! (She's one ...  the oldest was another, but conveniently ducked the camera >insert eye roll<). We mercifully made new frien...

My New Language

My teen challenged me to a game of ping pong. Easy enough, one might think, but this particular teen has been playing for YEARS against GOOD players (my mother-in-law is a champ!). Not to mention his muscles are twice the size of mine and he's a least - dare I admit this - a solid three inches taller than I, probably four. He was so sweet when he asked, and I couldn't remember the last time he had, so of course I said yes. From the beginning he knew he could beat me. He is stronger, faster,  *sigh*  taller , and more skilled. So he, sweet thang that he is, played with his weaker hand, which honestly isn't saying much because the boy is straight up ambidextrous . He was still beating me. So he got on his knees. I kid you not. He put one hand behind his back and he. played. on. his. knees . Aaaaaaaaaand he still beat me. It probably didn't help that I was laugh/crying the entire time. He thinks it was because I was having the time of my life, and I WAS! But r...

The Post About School

Our family has partially or full time homeschooled for eight years. And, getting really technical, if you think of the years per kid, that's 22 years of homeschooling ! I think it's safe to say we are homeschool fans. Our decision to homeschool, initially, came from three factors: 1. Mark is a big proponent of using time wisely, and neither of us were thrilled with the use of time in our local schools. 2. We don't vaccinate, which wasn't a big deal in the beginning because BACK THEN we could just sign a waiver and it was no biggie. Then CA went all - well, Californiaish- and basically it became impossible for us to legally enroll our kids in a public school. 3. What brought homeschooling to our attention was when a family brought us a meal after Mia was born, and in walked this 8 year old boy who was kind, polite, helpful, genuine, respectful, patient, and more. I asked the mom, "Where does this kid go to school? He is incredible! What are you doing??...
