This weekend the weather has been perfect, hopefully, a sign of what is to come. The hotter, the better for me, although Jim prefers around 70. So one of us is always happy during the summer. :) Last weekend we had a lot of fun as a family. Our first trip to the pool, first barbeque with friends, annual family pictures with the Weimer clan and finished a few odd jobs around the house.
Jim accomplished a big project at our house, getting our large tree out of the front yard. We transplanted it when we moved into our house and the first year a large storm came through and it fell over. Every storm since it seems like we lose another limb or two. So Saturday Jim decided to put it out of its misery. It looks so bare now when you drive by our house. He is hoping to plant a new tree that in about 30 years will provide some shade. :)
A cool God story to end you with. Just this week my parents had a neighbor stop by their house and asked if they were collecting pop cans for our adoption. They said sure. He brought over enough cans to fill my mom's jeep and Jim's truck. The grand total was.....$130.60. All in pop cans!! Crazy. What is cool is how God is using people who don't know us to help us bring Eli home. Last week brought so many encouraging things, each day someone else bought a necklace, passed out a Pizza Hut flyer, or gave a donation. We are so encouraged that God has this. He didn't bring us this far to not get us to Ethiopia and back. Thank you Jesus for loving us so much that you care about this sweet little boy in Africa. We love you Jesus!!
