Ordinary Hero

Tom and I are partnering with Ordinary Hero to raise money for the over 147 million orphans around the World. The statistics can be overwhelming yet we can all make a difference one child at a time. Ordinary Hero hopes to inspire people to do just that. We will be running the Thunder Road half-marathon here in Charlotte on November 14th as part of the Ordinary Hero team.

We know we ask our dear friends and family every year to help us in our efforts to give back to Ethiopia. In years past you've helped us build wells and participated in water walks. We thank you for your support and do not want you to feel pressure to give every year. We'd love it if you would pray for this awesome organization and their efforts in changing the world one child at a time.

Exciting News!!

If by chance anyone stills reads this blog (I'm really going to try and be better about posting to it!), I wanted to post some exciting news. We are adopting again!! We just started the process to adopt "baby brother" as the kiddos affectionately refer to him as from Ethiopia. My plan is to create a new blog with a more appropriate title since we will soon become the Jackson 6 so please check back for the new site link. In the meantime, here are some pics of life these days...dance recitals for the girls, swim team for Syd, dreadlocks for Silas & summer fun at the beach.
