My sister put together a Walk- A- Thon Fundraiser for our sweet boy. She thought this would be a great idea to keep our process going while waiting to hear from grants etc. The fundraiser was this past Saturday at the GCHS track.Plus it allowed me to focus in something else other than all of the paperwork, it's amazing how much is involved. The weather was awesome, a little chilly but no rain, yeah!!! We had some great friends and family come out to support us. Timmy & I thought it would be great to take my laptop and let everyone see the video we had received, it was awesome for our friends & family to share in the joy of seeing our sweet baby boy, I do believe there were a few tears shed. We had a great time, just celebrating what God has placed on our hearts and has in store for our family. There was riding toys, scooters and footballs & soccer balls for kids and adults alike to play with. After the walk we went out to dinner with Timmy's cousin Chris, his wife and the youngest of their 3 kids, we had a great time, it was so nice of them to come down and to get to spend time with them. Thanks guys for your love & support.God is good and has truly blessed us. Thanks sis, what a great idea. Love ya!!!
Since the Fundraiser we have gotten word from Sue that Cooper is now out of the hospital, he was being treated for severe malnourishment and is now in the transition house, thank God!!! Please continue to pray for him, pray for his birth mother whom I'm sure is missing him terribly, please also pray that our case will be submitted to court very soon & that we will pass court the first time. Please pray that our father will keep him safe in his arms until we can bring him home. Also please begin to pray for me and my side kick Kristy Northcutt, we will be traveling at some point to Ethiopia, either for our court appt. or to bring Cooper home. I'll be posting to keep everyone up to date. One more shout out to all of you that are behind us, praying for us and or sweet baby boy, it means more to us than you can imagine!! xxx's & 000's to all
