We would like to offer a Congratulations to two families who received referrals today! The Cordell Family (for those at NCCF, this family is at the church where Jeff and Lisa attend) and the West Family. The Cordell's have a little girl coming their way, and the West's a little boy! How exciting!

These next three items are not as exciting in the adoption world! I finally found two tea cups at an antique store. I was so excited to find them both for just $15. On the day I found them I didn't have the right payment and the gentleman let me take them anyway. I was able to bring him his money later, which was so trusting of him. I have enjoyed using them!


I also found this yummy donut recipe on Soule Mama blog a while ago. My kitchen aid mixer hasn't been working properly so I haven't been making anything that requires kneading. Jacob repacked the grease for me and I was able to make them this weekend. Unfortunately, that was the only thing I made with the kitchen aid. I think it needs a better doctor than my handy husband! Anyway, here is a picture of the donuts. I recommend cutting out the center of them because they were a little too bready. Since I do not have a donut cutter I will make them smaller next time. My sister in law recommended using a bottle cap to cut out the center which I thought was a good idea. They were fun to make!

Finally, I told my parents that I would post some of Caleb's art from his first official art lesson with Mommy! Enjoy. P.S. Mom and Dad, if you click on the pictures, you can see them full size.
