A Sweet Deal

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption has been a resource we have used many times during our four adoptions, as well as when we were running our adoption support group.

This weekend they are offering a sweet deal (pun intended) that raises money for the foundation.  I understand not everyone can be a foster or adoptive parent, but this is one way you can help support children in foster care.

Thanks for your support,
Nicole

We want to wish all the dads out there a Happy Father’s Day! The impact you make in your children’s lives each day is immeasurable.

Every year, Wendy’s celebrates dads during Father’s Day Frosty Weekend. With every Frosty sold this Saturday and Sunday, participating Wendy’s will donate 50 cents to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption so we can help children in foster care find the dads (and moms) they deserve.

So why not celebrate the dads in your lives with a good treat to help a great cause?

That’s one sweet deal.

Best wishes,
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption

Moments to Remember

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

Celebrate Good Times

We've done quite a bit of celebrating lately.  First of all we are celebrating the fact that our pool heater is finally up and running!  No one likes to swim in 70 degree (or below) water.  The pool is comfortable enough now that everyone enjoys it!

Alex turned 10 (double digits!).  He chose a "Cars" cake, and for his birthday dinner we ate In-n-Out cheeseburgers and french fries.  We started a tradition of taking the birthday child shopping with just mom and dad to pick out their own birthday present.  The kids love it!  Alex chose a Beyblade battle set.

And then we celebrated Father's Day with my wonderful husband!  I think James celebrated a little too much.

And now we are celebrating our upcoming Disneyland vacation.  This will be a first-time for most of the family and will definitely be a moment to remember.
