Have you heard about the Triathlon 4 Orphans? Most likely you have. In the off chance, though, that you have not, here’s the scoop:

My husband, Dave, is preparing to do a triathlon on July 9th! Monumental, right? But not only is he doing a triathlon, he’s raising money for Olive Tree Adoptions, a ministry of our church, while doing a triatlon. Awesome! A Triathlon 4 Orphans.

For a few years now, ever since attending The Call in August 2008, my and Dave’s hearts have been moved towards adoption. We don’t know how or when but we’ve been certain that adoption is in our future ever since that summer three years ago.

It was so encouraging to us then, when so many hearts in our church family were stirred in the very same way. And so exciting when the framework for an adoption agency (one that would make adoption easier and more affordable to adoptive families) began to fall into place.

So, back to the triathlon. Dave’s been running and swimming, swimming and biking, and running some more for weeks now. He’s shed 30 pounds too! He’s also gained over $1500.00 for Olive Tree Adoptions and is aiming for $3500.00 more. If you are interested in donating to the Triathlon 4 Orphans follow this link. (You’ll be able to find more info about the triathlon specifics and how you can “stalk” him online there too.) Your money will go towards helping families adopt, and hopefully, soon, we will be one of those families! GIVE!

Daddy’s off again, this time with the older boys. I guess they just couldn’t wait till “later in the summer.” Have fun boys!

(I have to say, that this weekend has seemed kind of like a Mother’s Day gift! A house with less kids is a house with less noise and chaos.)
