FED EX

Tonight the girls and I went on a celebratory date. Of course we had to start out our night with a little pampering, so we hit the nail salon for pedicures. The girls love getting their toes done. What girl doesn't, right? Brooklyn loves to get her toes painted black just like mommies. To add a little twist, and without my knowledge, she had little candy canes applied to her big toes. I thought it was quite odd until I saw Bailey's toes. She chose Christmas trees. When I asked her why she decided on the Christmas theme she said, "Mom, Christmas is only 5 months away". HMMMM, not sure what exactly she meant by that.?.

After our toes we went to the most important part of our evening.

The girls and I were taking our 'paper baby' to it's next destination. Just the thought of allowing these papers out of my sight makes me emotional. The girls and I prayed over the papers before we got out of the car. Their prayers are always so heart felt. They asked the Lord to watch over the papers as they fly over the ocean. They also prayed that Tate would enjoy seeing the papers. -I don't think he is going to see them but it is thought that counts!

I think the girls sensed that I was having a hard time parting with the papers. Bailey started rubbing my back and Brooklyn kissed my check. Then, almost in unison, they both said they miss Tate. :( I miss him too girls!
They kissed the packaged and sent out their love...all the way across the world!

Mama had to kiss the 'paper baby' too.

Reece's Rainbow

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own.

If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilities across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children.
