Mrs U.
I post on the RQ website and saw your adress, so opened your site. I have read thru a little bit of it and have enjoyed it so far. We are LID 8/26/05, so looking for our match this month. Our agency is also CCAI. We are also Christians who are very involved in our church and I am a homeschooling mom to my boys, ages 10 and 8. Our youngest (age 5) is in a Christian preschool, but I will be pulling him home next year. Looking foreward to reading the rest of your blog. Blessings, Cheri
Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving!
