This post is about all things "new." In early August we enjoyed participating in our friends adoption fundraiser. Some of our closest friends are adopting a baby girl from Asia and we were able to be part of bringing their "new" baby home. Our kids played lots of games, which cost a quarter, to help raise money for the "new" baby. Here is a picture of Damaris playing a chopsticks games. You had to grab a marshmallow with your chopstick and carry it to another bowl without dropping it. Damaris liked doing this since we try to use chopsticks when we eat rice at home.
In addition to playing games at the adoption fundraiser there was also a silent auction. Below is a picture of what we won. A brand "new" Chinese outfit handmade by the very talented Betsy Treece. Damaris loves it and she looks adorable in it. Oh and it's pink too. We also won one for Didi but he's not big enough for it yet.
And lastly a "new" room. Here are the kiddos on Damaris' very big girl bed. We picked out some girly pink and green colors and a quilt that was on sale at Target. Viola...a new room in a weekend. Now she has her own room and the boys bunk together. This pic is missing the chair railing Tim made for it. It's such a fun girlie room now, but honestly she really misses staying with her brothers. She asks if she can sleep in the room with them some times. Who wouldn't want to bunk their cool brothers.
