How Far Love Goes

Our Thanksgiving pie sale was such a success! We sold 81 pies...and ate one more. (shh) This sale was a benefit for our adoption and our friend's who are adopting Jimmy from Haiti. Jimmy is around the same age as Andrey. I can't wait for them to become friends. They both love to play soccer!

We made different kinds of pies, each with it's own complications. Amy and her sweet, sweet mother had bulk pecan and pumpkin pie making down to a science! Kyndal (Jimmy's soon-to-be sister) was our number one stirrer! And I peeled apples until my thumb was a different color! It took us four days, including shopping. And every moment of it was a blessing! It's easy to work hard when you have such great motivation.

"Time it was I had a dream
You're the dream come true
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you.
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me.

You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows."
