You can check out www.rufustees.com to read their story and purchase the tees (designed by a 4 year old adopted child!).<br /><br />Love ya,Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527179790853642812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-85631275562296382762010-11-08T16:57:41.903-08:002010-11-08T16:57:41.903-08:00Great idea, but we won't be able to buy anythi...Great idea, but we won't be able to buy anything this year. We won't be doing presents this year ... just not in the budget. And, you know what, I am OKAY with that. Seriously. <br /><br />We buy a new ornament for each child each year, and I've been shopping for those all year, so they will get their ornaments to go on the tree.<br /><br />We also buy each child a pair of pajamas every year (if we can afford it). I snagged a great sale on pajamas, so our kids will be getting their pajamas. <br /><br />But ... that's it. <br /><br />It will be a VERY QUIET Christmas year. We will arrive home from our drive to TX for our son's wedding, on Christmas Eve. Papa has to fly to the wedding, and then he'll be working out of town on Christmas. So, Mama and the kids will arrive home on Christmas Eve, and have a quiet day the next day (4 of the Big Kids won't be home this year, either). <br /><br />You know what ... I am sure that we will all be much sadder that Papa can't be with us, than we will about not having any presents.<br /><br />Yes ... Christmas will be very different this year. But, we will PRAISE JESUS for all that He is and all that He has given us.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing all of the things that adoptive families are selling.<br /><br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-61334198263841134132010-11-08T15:45:42.395-08:002010-11-08T15:45:42.395-08:00I volunteered with an organization that staffs orp...I volunteered with an organization that staffs orphanages in Ecuador with volunteers. OSSO also runs one orphanage. They sell a couple items to help fund the orphanages. I sent you an email about them, but here is a link as well. Thank you for the shout out! These children need all the extra support they can get while they wait for forever families.<br /><br />http://www.orphanagesupport.org/products.htmlAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658947133945690380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-75189472778571446062010-11-08T08:13:17.160-08:002010-11-08T08:13:17.160-08:00Hi Amy, I know you have given me a shout out befor...Hi Amy, I know you have given me a shout out before but can always use another one:)and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you and all of these other blogs that are doing this.
