Words cannot express....

Words cannot express how unbelievably grateful we are for everyone that helped with our Bob Evans fundraiser.  It truly is AMAZING how many people have come together to help us bring our little Amira home.  I would love to individually thank each and every person for helping us make our fundraiser such a great success.  We have not heard a total from Bob Evans but we know that it was a success from stories we are being told of the event.  Once we have officially heard from Bob Evans, we will be sure to post the outcome.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

This adoption has been such an amazing process.  I have seen first hand how amazing people can be.  The support we have received from friends, family and complete strangers is nothing less than spectacular!!!  We greatly appreciate all of your support and prayers.  Through the strength of God and your prayers we are going to be able to give a little girl a life that every child deserves!!!  I would like to ask for your continued prayers and support as we move along this adoption process. Please include in your prayers not only our family and Amira but also all the other orphan children of the world.  Thank you again so much.

One more little side note I wanted to add...Friday (the day of our Bob Evans Dine to Donate) I had taken the kids to the park to run off some energy after their Bob Evans Breakfast.  The park that we went to is filled with tires that have been shredded and laid out instead of rocks.  When we came home I found a piece of rubber from the park on our couch and this is what it looked like....

I know this might just seem like a piece of rubber but to us it is a symbol of so much more!!!  It is amazing when you open your eyes to the wonders God is capable of, how much you truly find him everywhere.  To us this piece of rubber is more than just an old tire, it is a friendly reminder from God that our mission in Africa is his will.  We will not stop until our little princess from Africa is a US citizen with the last name Ayres!!!  We cannot wait to give you the opportunities to flourish and grow and to show you the love every child deserves!!!  See you soon baby girl!!!
