An opportunity to help an adopting family!

Ds Fact:  Not ALL children with Ds are "happy all of the time".  I've heard that often. It's a myth. People from church may not believe me, but it's true. Oh ya, there was the one day Elijah cried in the middle of Children's sermon b/c he couldn't go up on stage. That would be the first (and only so far) time he's cried in the middle of church. But....at home....he is NOT happy all of the time. In fact, on any given morning during school, he can be found plopped down in the middle of the floor crying because he didn't get his way. Yep.  Guess what?!? He's just a typical kid!!!

I'm not sure about Jonathan's personality yet. Maybe he will be the stereotypical "happy all of the time" kid. He's pretty laid back. We'll see...

Ds Blog:  http://addingbranchestoourtree.blogspot.com/  This is the blog of my friend Juli that lives just a few miles from me. :-) She and her husband, Ben, are in process to adopt a little boy from China with Ds!  The process for China takes a bit longer than Ukraine, so they are patiently waiting for their Letter of Acceptance. I posted about their family HERE. (The folks on other half of that Ripple Effect post will have some VERY excited news in a day or two. I'll be sure to share!)

Ok, that leads me to the title of this post.  Our church is hosting a craft and bake sale on Saturday where ALL proceeds benefit the Prevost family! Plus, a spaghetti dinner w/ some awesome raffles is being held that night! (Hey, it's only $5/person or $15/family. What a bargain for us! LOL)



Juli is also hosting a Scentsy fundraiser. HERE are the details.



So if you are local, I really do hope you can stop by and help this awesome family bring home their son!
