Family (and Kiddos) ROCK!

During our last adoption process, we designed and sold my favorite t-shirt ever.  Recently, there has been new interest in this fun design.  We decided to have them printed again and use all the shirt profits to help an adoptive family!  Taking orders through JANUARY 20th!

If you are thankful for your family, this is YOUR shirt!!  There are three design options, and some color variations!  The tees are a super-soft and very nice Next Level brand tee that are the most comfortable we have found.  The hoody is a lighter weight and very soft style, and the long-sleeve is also comfy!  Here are the designs:

"My Family Rocks"

"My Kids Rock, and yes, ALL these kids are mine."  (front and back)

"My Kids Rock" (front only)

It would be so cute to have your little guys in blue "my family rocks" tees, and the girls in the raspberry version, with Mom and Dad in grey!

We Gave BOTH HANDS!! (Part 1: Recap)

 Here is the FANTASTIC group of people who have servant hearts and gave 100% on our BOTH HANDS Project,

expecting nothing in return but glorifying God and helping others!! 

   I am telling you, the people in this photo ROCK!  Not pictured, but equally as awesome for their dedication to all the pre-project work,

are Ben and Mindy Brown.  Thank you to each and every one of you!

PRE-PROJECT:  This group mailed out over 570 letters to friends and family asking for sponsorship that would benefit our adoption expenses!  $7560 has been raised to date through this project!!!  They visited or called local businesses to ask for donations, secured equipment resources invaluable to our efforts, evaluated the work to be done, and corresponded with our widow to reassure her of the days events.

 

PROJECT DAY(s):  Our team removed bushes, did landscape work, repaired several dangerous spots on a deck, corrected a major drainage issue, cleaned gutters, removed a stump and rotting timbers, and most importantly, spread the love of Christ.  They took initiative, were patient and flexible, and super supportive!  The weather forecast for our project day was 90% rain with a tornado watch!  Although we had a rain date scheduled, the major equipment we were using would no longer be available on that day.  We were determined to do as much as possible for Mrs. Beumel and her son, so we felt the rain date reschedule was not an option.  We ended up working a day early (Friday) from 4 to 10 p.m., and on project day from 11:00 to 4:00.  People came straight from their places of employment on Friday, already having completed a full day of work, and happily and wholeheartedly worked at the residence.  God held back the rains and storms until the very moment every project was complete on Saturday!!!!!  Amazing!  

 

POST-PROJECT:  About $7000 is still needed to pay our adoption expenses.  We are SO close, and it's not too late to donate!  You can click here to make a tax-deductible donation to LifeSong for Orphans that will directly benefit our family's adoption expenses.  (Once you click the link, use the "Give" button on the right side of the screen.)  Or contact us for info on mailing a donation check (hudsononline@bellsouth.net)!
