Leaving In 3 Days!!!


Hello all...Its official...we leave in 3 days to pick up Lila Grace! We got a "surprise" phone call yesterday that literally brought me to my knees that we can pick up our daughter Dec. 3rd! We are frantically getting things in order to leave for Africa this Sunday! Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes! It’s truly a "Thanksgiving Miracle!" I have so many things to be Thankful For! I will post one more time before we leave. Also, an update on our non-profit organization Lila's Hope, we did collect enough money to purchase the refrigerator! Yippee! All extra funds collected this month will go to stocking the pantry at El Olam orphanage! Thank you for all of your generous donations!

Love and Hugs~Holley

Happy Halloween!



Hello All!! Happy Halloween! We had a great Halloween weekend. Ethan decided that he was going to be Peter Pan for Halloween and looked so adorable! His best friend Grace was Wendy and Meredith was supposed to be Tinker Bell but she refused to wear her costume! Stinker! :) The kids had a blast, we took them to the church carnival and then out Trick-or-Treating. They got loads of candy and had a blast running door to door.

Andrew and I also enjoyed ourselves and we attended my "Mossman" staff Halloween party on Friday night. I was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Andrew was Super Mario Brother! What a hoot and tons of fun! Teachers really know how to have a good time!

Adoption update....we are planning on leaving for Africa on Nov. 24th if all goes as planned! We are counting down the seconds!!! We miss our girl!!!!
