Support the Ribbens

When we were in Uganda, we had the privilege of sharing a house with some great families.  As you can imagine, we got to know these families pretty well and fast.  The shared experience of Ugandan adoption helped us gain some great friends.  One of these families...Andy & Sara Ribbens have been in Uganda for about 7 months and are still there trying to finalize the legal guardianship of their daughter.

Another one of our former housemates, Stephanie, has decided to make and sell ornaments to help support the Ribbens.  You can help the Ribbens by buying one (or more) of these ornaments at Stephanie's blog HERE: 1 for $12 or 2 for $20.

Please help our friends bring their daughter home. Thanks!

A treehouse...sort of

A while back I trimmed some branches from a tree in our yard.  Take the branches, add a ladder, a folding chair and some random junk from the garage and TADA...you have a fort!
See, even Gideon gets in on the action!   We are so thankful for our boys and how Gideon has transitioned so well into our family.  Can't imagine life without him!
