Ni hao China!

Hey everybody! I have been quite a horrible blogger lately, sorry! We have a lot of things going on in our house lately!

I am VERY excited about this in particular though. I just sent off my application today and I am really hoping they accept me! I will post when I hear back from them. This trip sounds so awesome and would be an amazing opportunity! I have always wanted to go to China and it looks like I might be getting my chance! Please pray that I get to go! I will have to raise about $2,700 for the trip but with God, all things are possible!

Jeremiah-dancing machine!

I found this video of my little brother dancing in CA at my uncles house about three years ago. How cute is he?! He was really rockin out! ( Yes, that was my squeeky 11 year old laugh in the back.)

Vaden Elliot Pearce

I am an aunt! Vaden Elliot Pearce was born at 7:05 am today and weighs 7lbs 7oz and is 21 in. long. He is a red head! I can't wait to meet him. Mom is at the hospital with my sister and brother-in-law now.

* I did get to go to the hospital tonight and was snuck in by a nurse to see him :) He is soooo CUTE!!! He is tiny! He smiled at me and is all together precious. Vaden, Melissa and Randy are doing well. Vaden couldn't be cuter and I can't wait to hold(/squeeze) him again! :-)

Congrats to the Winters!!!

They just recieved a referral for a baby boy today and I am sooooo excited for them!!!

Library at Kolfe

Some of you might remember me posting about raising money for the library at Kolfe. Well Solomon, who lives at Kolfe, ( you probably have seen his letters to my mom on her blog) sent me an email today saying it is done! We were there while it was being painted. It was so neat to actually be able to see the somewhat finished product of the fundraising we did. Here are some pictures of the library when we were there and the letter from Solomon : Here are the pictures of the library... They were so proud! ( The library might have actually been on the other side of this wall but we only went on this side of the building.) Hello Eillie, It is your brother Solomon. I remeber you always. How can I forget you. you are very generous. I always proud by you. I really have a wonderful sister. In Kolfe this time many peoples re caming to visit us. They share there love for us. The library also open. Two computers are also bought one for the library one for the office. the weather in Ethiopia this time is warm because it is summer. School is good. I finished the first semister and I look my result I score high mark in my class. I meet with Trevor and Keva also I send a letter to all of you. I pray for all of you every day. I pray that God help me to live with all of you. I always remeber you. I can't sleep in the night. I saw your family picture and I crying. I don't know what to do. I don't know how I can express my love but I love all of you million times. I miss all of you.Tell to mom I am write soon and I love all of you very much.(xxxxxx) this means hugs!!!.

Also, soon-to-be traveling families, they are in need of books for their library. They wanted some English dictionaries and I am sure other books to help get their library started. I am sure they appreciate it very much!

Kezzie's first steps!!

Keziah took her first 5 steps on St. Patricks Day 2008. She was so proud and even clapped for herself! Of course she had a whole house clapping for her too!

This is just a picture of her standing a few days before she took her first steps. She is getting braver everyday and will stand up more and more lately!
