Busy, busy, busy ...

Sorry to have not posted in a while. It's been busy around the George household. Two weeks ago Josh fell and got a huge goose egg over his right eye (which has now turned into a black eye) as well as a bad gash inside his right ear. We thought he was going to need stitches. It was a clean cut and has healed nicely using Derma Bond. I love our pediatricians office as we were able to take him there to have all this treated, instead of the ER or urgent care.

Last weekend, both kids and then Mike were sick with a bad stomach virus. We had to cancel Josh's birthday cookout. Calgon!!!!

The ministry has been just as busy. Two weeks ago we hosted a "Post Adoption - What to Expect from a Medical Perspective" seminar. Our pediatrician was the guest speaker. We've also had some exciting developements around a potential grant fund that I hope to be able to blog in more detail about later. This weekend, I will be attending the 4th Annual Summit for the Christian Alliance for Orphans in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This Alliance was formed by Family Life, Focus on the Family and Shaohannah's Hope. There will be many key leaders in the adoption and orphan care arena in attendance. I have learned several people, that I have met over the last year or so, from NC will also be attending. I am excited to attend and come home recharged for God.

This past Saturday, we held a social at Pullen Park. It was a beautiful day. We met a family who just came home two weeks ago with their two baby boys from Ethiopia. They are beautiful children. Every day we become more encouraged and inspired about our decision to go to Ethiopia to adopt. We know that God has called us to do this. I am so anxious to get started on the paperwork.
