This is the sweet baby that an old friend of mine adopted from Ethiopia. You can read about her story here if you have a lot of time to spare and some tears to shed - seriously. It is a great story, but it doesn't end there. This family got some gut wrenching news this week that adorable little baby Abe suffered strokes in his birthmother's womb and has some amount of brain damage. So please pray for baby Abe and the Alexander family. They are such a precious family!!! I was so glad that we got to see this sweet boy that we are praying for so hard and this sweet little mom who just seems to have it all in perspective and has it all together.
On another note - being the blog stalker that I am - I am going to copy someone that I blog stalk. Every entry that I make from now until Thanksgiving, I am going to list 5 things that I am thankful for. Actually Brooks and I are both going to be doing this on our blogs. So you can check him out here. He is password protected for obvious reasons so if you want to read his - he will have to approve you so I hope you have been good and nice to him - so he can approve you!
5 things I'm thankful for today:
1. The chocolate cake I had for desert at Chili's today. The kids were actually able to get through the meal without saying anything derogatory or without arguing, so everyone got desert! Bribery works people!
2. My iphone that I had to use today for the map application when I got lost going to the sip and see.
3. Missionaries that spread the Lord's word throughout the world. Especially because I don't think I could ever do that!
4. My new cozy polka dot pajamas that I monogrammed an "H" on at 1 am and am wearing right now!
5. The great youth program at our church that Brooks gets to be a part of! Love 24/7!
