DOUBLE Time!!

2 of us.
2 of them.
2 more of them.
Over $2000 fundraised so far.
Seems only right that all funds raised should be x2 this month!

That's right! If you've been following, you've seen that this month of April, ANY and all donations received will be doubled by an anonymous couple!  All towards our enormous adoption fees!

There's a lot going on right now:

(1) We are finishing organizing & cleaning the house...getting ready for tomorrow night's 1st Home Study/house tour/interview!  It's at 5:00pm...would love some prayers! :)  We are in total crunch time right now.  We just want to be well prepared.

(2) Exactly one WEEK from tonight is our first fundraising night out!  Remember that if you (or any of your friends/family/neighbors) order from Otter's Chicken (Dallas Hwy, W.Cobb Aves.) between 4pm-10pm on Monday, April 9th, 15% of your $/order will go to us! (*And remember, it's really 30% b/c it's doubled!).  We will be there for much of the night, hanging out with you guys & eating.  We'll be there at least from 5-8 pm, possibly longer.  Last reminder about this night: You must say you are with "4xFaithful" or "4xFaithful Adoption"!  Thanks for helping to spread the word so this can be a big night!

(3) On the night of the Otter's Fundraiser, we are planning to wear our new, custom designed Adoption fundraising T-shirts!  They should be in the Friday before.  We'll bring some with us if you show up and decide you want one (Absolutely no pressure to buy though!).  They'll be $20 each.  All proceeds, of course, go to Adoption fees.  I should be getting a photo soon of what they'll look like, and I'll share it when I do.  And, again, reminder that your $20 donation for a shirt will actually be $40 if you get one this month (thanks to the doubling!).

(4) Photo Time!

At first glance, you may think this is a delicious (seriously!) chicken taco.  In fact, it is *love* from a friend.  A quick, yummy meal provided for us on our crunch night before the Home Study!!  Yes, we are spoiled.  And yes, it was delicious.  


K giving a 'thumbs up' and licking any excess off...he cleaned his plate! 

Seriously, these two are SO sweet together.  This was totally their idea, with no input or posing from me.  K climbed up in Sissy's chair & she shared her breakfast with him. 


I mean, do they even really need a Mommy?  
Looks like G has the ice cream taken care of as well! 

...and he wanted to sit in her lap...of course. 

Under a bell...haha... 
We had a super fun day out with my first college roomie & her beautiful, sweet family!  They were in town from NY & we were so excited to spend time with them!

Garden adventures

Not exactly sure what's going on here. 
 I'm thinking a playground all to yourself proves to be BORING. 

Mr. Cool loves his shades now. 

The LOVE bedtime stories with Cuban Daddy! 

Cuban Daddy getting the yard ready for the first Home Study visit. Let me mention that Sat. we had 2 friends come help Cuban Daddy w/ some major garage work, even getting their shiny trucks all dirty. ;)  And on Sun., one of them came back to help with yard work.  On top of that, we got home from meeting my roommate to find 2 people who surprised us by working in our yard all morning. 
 ***And you guys thought I was exaggerating when I said we had amazing friends.  
Clearly, I'm not!!!***

G & K like to look out the window at the neighborhood while they have their snack sometimes. 

I'm thinking this is going to be Cuban Daddy & I about 4:55 pm tomorrow..... :/
Only we won't be snackin'. 

Thank you for the continued prayers, support, thoughtful texts, & helpful surprises!  We'll let you know how tomorrow night goes.

~ 6 in Love ~
