ADOPT a BUILD a BEAR

In preparing for the boys arrival, we have also been tackling the basement.  Because the guest room is now the boys nursery, we decided to add the additional stress of finishing our basement so we will have a guest room for anyone who wants to come and visit.  We are excited to be able to finish our basement and are looking forward to all of the additional space it will provide our family.  We will post pictures along the way so you can see our progress : )

In our adventure of cleaning out the basement to prepare for the builders to start construction, we have decided to part with some important friends.  I am sure you all have seen and heard about the BUILD a BEAR phenomena.  These are the cutest, most cuddly hand created friends your child stuffs, complete with a heart, chooses an outfit, dresses them up, fluffs their fur and then names.  These little friends them become a member of your family and every time your child sees a BUILD a BEAR store they want to go and make a new member for the family.  Over the years Parker and Paeton have created quite and extended family of BUILD a BEARS.

They have decided to hold a BUILD A BEAR ADOPTION and accept donations for their bear friends and to donate all of the proceeds to Sele Enat orphanage in Ethiopia.  This of course is the orphanage where their brothers are, and they hope to be able to bless the orphanage with a meaningful donation while they are in Ethiopia.  I love their creativeness and their servant hearts.  Please come out and support this awesome fundraiser on friday June 19, 5:00 pm-9:00 pm at La Croix Church, in THE PORCH.
