UGH

Yes, Ugh- I don't have much else to say at this moment.  After e-mailing the embassy in Haiti and contacting the Adoption Agency, we have had no luck finding out when the DNA test will be scheduled.  For those of you who don't know-this is basically the last thing needed to seal this deal and they're taking their sweet time getting it done.  Of course I have 3 other kiddos here keeping me very busy as usual.  Jadeyn and I had a mom/daughter day out on Monday in Owensboro.  We went to Red Lobster for lunch and hit the mall.  She helped me pick out a coat, I have needed it due to the cold weather this week.  We went to Wal-Mart and she picked out a little something for being so good. :)  Shaylen and I will be going out sometime over the weekend for his mom date and Darrian will be playing basketball out of town.  Hopefully we will have some adoption information soon but for now.......we wait.

The Big Quilt Giveaway

This year is Providence Baptist Church's (my home church) 100th year.  The church has had a year of celebration in honor of this big year.  They collected quilt pieces from the church family members and a lady from the church made a quilt to give away during homecoming.  As we arrived a greeter gave everyone a "chance" at the quilt, kiddos and all.  I would guess around 200 or so chances were in that box.  They had special music, a time of recognition for members, guest speakers, etc.  Right at the end was the big quilt giveaway.  Joy, a lady from church went up and held the box of chances out for Brother Shane to pick the winner.  She took it back and shook it some more for good measure...then he took out a name.  Steven DeWitt!!  We couldn't believe it, Steven won the quilt.  I think some of the ladies would've liked to taken it away from him, one even offered him money for it, but he made it out safely-quilt in hand.  We have the quilt stored in the closet until we decide exactly what we need to do with it.  Do we keep it out?-do we put it up?  We're not sure......
