3 MOMS and 15 CHILDREN !!!!

What else would 3 moms do on a beautiful summer day, but sew some new ADOPTED t-shirts to help bring Joseph home, while their 15 children played, ate, made a mess, and had a blast ... Thanks to Suzanne for hosting at her home and to Ondrea for bringing her sewing machine and to both ladies for their very CREATIVE and CRAFTY minds ... We created a LIMITED EDITION t-shirt (only 20 shirts) ... A super cute pink shirt w/ a cut out tear away look w/ the word ADOPTED ) ... Will hope to post them soon ... We had a fun day (even w/ eating the low calorie soup while the kids chowed down on pizza ... hee hee ... don't ask, but I will say one thing BROWNIES) ... We could only get 13 kids pictured because one was napping (no idea how through all the noise ...MIRACLE) and then one just wasn't feeling the camera today and opted to hid outside ...

Blessed is a woman, who has true friends to walk a long journey with ... Love You Both!

FYI ... Pictured ... Biological, adopted domestically, adopted Russia, adopted China and 3 Ugandans COMING SOON .... Our very own United Nations !!!

Brownies? What brownies? I didn't get any brownies! I knew there was a reason you were eating that lo-cal soup!

By the way, I don't know how you did it on soup alone, I was STARVING by dinner and I didn't even have soup!

I love you beyond words!

Holly said...

Ohh, I dont know which is more adorable, the kids together or the lovely pink shirts that say Adopted! with scripture reference!
Okay, the kids, the kids!
But seriously, I think those shirts are gonna be a huge success! I just love seeing God bring community together to bring home HIS precious children!!
To HIM be the glory!!

Oh how fun! I LOVE to sew! I wish I could have been there to help. Just finished Crazy Love. I have never read a book that I just kept repeating "That's what I'm saying!" It totally touched on everything God is leading and teaching me. We don't want to adopt one and be done. We want orphan ministry and adoption as a lifelong part of our family. Thinking some big news coming soon!

Love said...

Erica said...

Erica said...

OOOO and I just saw the bitty babies! We have those same ones! Love.
