celebration for amsa!
on sunday night, my small group throw a 'baby' shower for our friends that just adopted little 6 year old amsa, from Ethiopia. they were able to share their story with about 200 (my guess) people and then we had a party afterwards. they have an amazing story to tell and this little one is precious, beyond words!! they have touched so many lives, including mine!! although she's only been here, in america for about 3 months, i love her already!!

sorry, i have yet figured out how to work the 'slide show' to post my pictures. in the meantime, bear with me. here are some (yup, more to come from my sister's camera) favorite pictures from our trip to Michigan. these are some of my favorite people.....i need to run but will do some more explaining when i get home this afternoon...

people i love, prices i love to pay and precious, precious memories....

hi friends...
i'm finally getting around to posting again. i have some new pictures i'll post later today. for now, just giving a heads up that i haven't forgotten you! :) i'm off to clean the garage and then take the boys to see Madagascar. rye is gone to a council retreat for the day so it's just me and the boys......
