Hello there! Not too many new and exciting things to add to our blog today. My grandma passed away on Friday night, so it's been a rough weekend for the family. We drove to Beaver Falls, PA and went to the viewing on Monday and the Funeral on Tuesday. It was good to be with family and to tell stories and reminisce. Kevin was a good husband and served as a pallbearer and my cousin Colleen shared a few Bible verses and memories. One verse she chose was... "The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ." So be it.
On a lighter note, on Sunday we held a fundraiser at the church for our DR trip. We had a great turnout and many opened their hearts and were generous in their giving and prayers! Thanks to everyone who helped us out and to those who donated. Big thanks to Au Bon Pain who donated a ton of yummy pastries for the breakfast. Also, we had everyone make cards for each of the orphans and took polaroids of each couple who made the cards to include in them...the kids love photos :)

I'm sorry about your grandmother. I hope your family is doing ok in this tough time!
Wow, guess I need to check your blog more often--had no idea 'bout you grandma. I'm so sorry, hope you're all hanging in there.
Glad to hear about your job (or lack thereof), though! I'm sure nannying is a welcome change (I bet just about anything would have been a welcome change, huh? Drive to MD? That's crazy...)
Hope we'll see you guys soon, maybe the party?? Take care!
