{Day 125}

September 2, 2011

Wow Day 125 of daily blogging…. I have something that I think you will really like. I received this email from the sweet lady at Warm Blankets yesterday: “By the way, I wanted to encourage you that all the support you have raised is providing for the daily needs of all of the new homes. Not only did it help them open, but it is helping to stabilize the children as we look for sponsors for the homes. This transition period is so crucial, and thanks to you it has been smooth and seamless for these new kids.” She hopes to send pictures soon as well. 🙂 You all are making such a difference!

O.K. About this outfit. So I am hoping to go see Roman Holiday in the park this evening. Since it stars Audrey Hepburn I felt that it was fitting to wear a shirt with her on it. 😉 She is one of my style icons after all. The movie is in black and white so I decided to make this picture black and white. 🙂

You did it! You put us over the $35K mark. Check out the new total: $35,219.45 😀 You are amazing!!!!!

Black and white is good on you girl, but I like the colored pictures the best. It makes you look like a real person.

Have you seen Roman Holiday before? As this is an all-girl household, we love that movie here!
Congrats on making $35K!! Can we still donate even though you’ve made the goal?

Ohoo Roman Holiday is one of my favourite Audrey Hepburn films. Sounds like a fabulous place to watch it – in the park. Have fun. You look splendid.

  Thanks dear! We did have fun. 🙂

cont. How encouraging to be receiving letters and emails firsthand from Warm Blankets. I received a photo from them recently of the children, makes it so much more personal and you really come to understand the difference you are making in the lives of the orphans.

  Yes it is very special. I can’t wait to see pictures of the homes we helped! Aren’t those children just adorable?
