Unbeknownst to Jason and I, this past Friday afternoon our neices and nephew and their friends (whose family is also adopting from the same agency we are) had a lemonade and cookie stand at the end of the Ehresman driveway. Before they opened their stand, they decided all the proceeds of their business venture would go toward the adoption funds of our family and the other friends' family. They made $26 total. Pretty stinkin' good for selling lemonade and cookies!
When I got handed this baggie of our half of the money, I could have just cried. How sweet of those kids to think about bringing home African kids from half way around the world. I love it!
Another quick, cute story along the same lines: Two weeks ago Mya and Sydney were playing at the Zielke house with the Zielke girls and some neighbor girls. Stephanie Zielke texted me to say they were all playing "adoption" with some dolls . . . and even talking about the paperwork. I love how God might use our adoption to shape little lives outside of our immediate family!

That brought a tear to my eye. What an amazing, encouraging and supportive family.
