Luke is 11 months old!

Luke - 11 months old

Hello people,

I am finally getting around to my 11 month post. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am actually pretty close to 12 months old now, but please accept this tardy update on my last month or so.

So, I gave Mom fits trying to take my monthly photo for this post. You can see some proof below. I just can't be bothered with stopping to flash my toothless smile (yes, still no teeth) whenever Mom wants me to.

I had a rough start to the month when I came down with a double ear infection topped off by RSV. Mom and Dad put some strange mask on my face every six hours for a week, stuffed me with medicine, and filled my ears with drops and ...

POOF! I felt better and was back to my old shenanigans acting goofy with Dad and Abigail.
Mom and Dad talk a lot about who they think I look like. Our friends all seem to say something different. I am including some pictures of a few of my different faces to get your opinion. Who do you think I favor?







Next time you hear from me, I'll be one! Can you believe it?

See ya,

Luke

Love for Lottie Garage Sale

The t-shirts are in and (most) have been delivered!

We were blown away with your response to our t-shirt sale! You all have helped us sell almost 125 t-shirts so far. We still have a few left over if you are interested in purchasing one. See this post for information on how to order.

If you bought a t-shirt, we would love for you to send us a picture of you wearing your shirt. We plan to keep a scrapbook of our adoption journey to share with Lottie one day and want your picture to be included. We want her to see everybody that worked hard to help bring her home to us. Just email me your picture at glohunsberger@gmail.com .

Where are we in the process?

Well, we are diligently working on all of the paperwork and pre-adoption education credits right now. We have completed all four of our home study visits with our social worker and hope to wrap up the home study in the next couple of months. Wow, there is a lot to be done, but we have some awesome people at both Lifeline in Birmingham and New Beginnings here in Mississippi helping us out.

What is next in our fundraising efforts?

So glad you asked! We plan on having a garage sale to benefit our adoption on Saturday, March 24^th at our house. If you feel like doing a little cleaning out, we would be happy to take any junk treasures off your hands. We can arrange for pick up and storage for those of you here in the Jackson metro area. So, let us know if you have anything you would like to donate to the sale (glohunsberger@gmail.com) . One thing you can all be doing is praying that March 24^th is a beautiful day!

Thank you again for your support. We give God all the glory for the way He has provided for these first major steps in our adoption journey. We can’t wait to see what He will continue to do! We will keep you updated about the garage sale and any progress in our home study.
