My brother and sister in law are desperately trying to adopt two children and they are hopefully heading into the finish to complete the adoption, but still have quite a bit of money to raise. You can read the whole story of how this all came about here http://applin.chipin.com/bring-ivan-and-yana-home. My brother and sister in law already have four children, so this isn't just a couple wanting a child....they truly feel that God has asked them to open their home to more children through adoption.
My immediate family met Yana while she was visiting last summer and even spent a few days vacationing with them. We, too, fell in love with her!
They are holding a raffle for an i-pad to raise the necessary funds. You know you want an i-pad!! So click below for your chance to win....and even more importantly a chance to make a family whole!

Simple Woman's Daybook
Outside my window...bright sunshine but chilly temperatures. Hardly a cloud in the sky.
I am thinking...that the roofers would've been here by now......especially with rain forecasted for tomorrow!
I am thankful for...all the work we've gotten done already today.
From the learning rooms...just the usual stuff. Getting eager to plan next year....fresh materials and a fresh start.
From the kitchen...something easy!
I am wearing...a long black skirt, hot pink blouse and flats because it's chilly this morning! I've got a patterned scarf in my hair as a headband and put makeup on first thing for the first time in forever!
I am creating...a skirt with dd2 and a pillowcase with ds1
I am going...to have a good week!
I am reading...The Kiterunner and Scott Hahn's First Comes Love....and enjoying both!
I am hoping...that dd3 has a beautiful First Holy Communion on Sunday. The excitement of receiving Jesus....she just can't wait!
I am hearing...Baby growling and squealing!
Around the house...much, much to do! Much organizing and cleaning and purging.
One of my favorite things...uncluttered spaces and happy children.
A few plans for the rest of the week: See "Around the House" note above! Also a May Crowning and our last co-op class of the year. Swim lessons for the middles and a dad/boy outing. And FHC!!!!
