Today was the offical launch of the Christmas Angel Project!
I know I have soooooo many things to blog about and there is an update in photos coming soon I promise! We have had a busy weekend but I will tell you about that later ;)
So I did get a bit of a head start in fundraising but oh well!
I am soooo looking forward to helping Igor this christmas and I hope ya'll we help me too!
I have a bake sale planned and a few other little fundraising ideas but since most of you are half way around the world it is almost impossible that you can be here but I would love you to give up something and donate it to Igors adoption fund!
50 cents, $1, $2, $20, $50, $100
IT ALL COUNTS!
Please consider giving the gift of a family to Igor this christmas!
Simply click 'chip in' and off you go!
That simple to save the life of an orphan this christmas!

Fliping a coin
Did you ever make a decsion on the flip of a coin?
I know I do it often.
I have the same chance of winning as I do of losing, right?
Well, its like Oscar.
Heads is that Oscar does get cancer by the age of seven.
Tails is that he does not get cancer by the age of seven.
Chances of winning are the same as chances of losing.
Oscar is as likly to get cancer as he is to not.
That is terrifing!
I flip a coin and it can mean Oscars life is a struggle or relativly easy, right?
But instead of flipping a coin I chose to trust.
Trust in the Lord.
Trust that His will shall be done.
TRUST....
That is the very thing I have been reling on since Oscars birth, to trust that this is ALL part of a plan.... Cancer or not!
50% is the chance Oscar will develop cancer
50% is the chance Oscar will not develop cancer
100% is the chance that God loves us
0% is the chance God will forsake us..... No matter what!
So lets flip....

BIG news!
Before I tell ya'll my big news, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Billy :)
Billy is a brother next door :) Yep, him and Zac have very close birthdays huh?!
We have a party this sunday which is going to be super fun!
Billy.... Today you are seven, what JOY you have bought to us the past seven years!
Next off.... Could you PLEASE donate to Igors adoption! I am not having much luck but I know God is faithful and he is pulling together some great ideas here in Austrlia (but if you could help too that would be beyond great!)
Ok time for the BIG news :)
Remember how I did the 40 hour famine? And applied for the youth ambasitor?
Well, I got to the next round!
Yes, close to my dream of going to East Temor and help save the world, one person at a time!
I have to go to Syndey in about 2 weeks and do a speech! AHHHHHHH!
The speech is on 'an event that has made an impact on your life'!
WOW, How I just love the way God gives me so many oppertunitys to share Oscar with the world :)
It is going to be hard but I am doing this to show the world that one person can make a differance! And I will, whether I get this or not :)
I did the 40 hour famine in honor of Chrissie and I just know she has gotten me this far and will be right there with me when I am terrified doing my speech!
Please pray that God does give me this life changing oppertunity!
It wouls make Chrissie so proud, huh?!
Oscar is on the mend :) Not 100%, maybe not even 50% but on his way :)
I am keen to see him and tell him all about the oppertuntiy God gave me today!
Wow, I have 2 weeks to write a speech on Oscar!
Lets get to work! :)

The boy with the growing foot!
Today is Zacs 4th birthday :)
When I woke him up this morning he needed a reminder that it was his special day!
As soon as he got up he looked at his foot and said "Tayli, now I am 4 my foot is bigger!" with the biggest smile on his face!
I had to head off to school so I gave Zac his present soon after waking. In his card I gave him $5 and he was beyond thrilled with that! His very own money! Then he got a tool set from me and LOVED that too! He has been playing with it ALL day :)
Zac is such a joy to all those he meets! He is one of those really happy children, which I love :)
He has got to be one of the funniest four year olds I have ever meet too! He always says something to crack me up!
Jody was pregnate with Zac when they moved in next door so I have had the chance to know him since birth! Wow, that was an entire four years ago!
I still remember him being a lil bubba :(
And now I am so honored to call him... Brother :)
Little brother, you are an amazing little boy and bring me so much joy!
I am glad you had a great birthday!
We are so proud of you and love you very much!
Love Tayli xoxox
(Wanted to post this quick cono I had with Zac)
Taylah: Zac, Mattie Patterson says Happy Birthday
Zac: Is that Chrissies sister?
Taylah: It sure is!
Zac: Can we go and see her?
Taylah: She lives in Texas!!!!
Zac: Oh well, Chrissie will give me a hug from her and God AND Mattie :)
And can you guess what appered later today? A RAINBOW :)
Happy birthday Zac... Love Chrissie!

Oscar update!
I would LOVE to say that Oscar is doing great, but that in not the reality of things.
Infact, he is not doing well at all.
No he is not lying in a hospital bed close to death, which is a realtity that SO many of you have exerianced. And for that reason I should not be complaining. But this is HARD! It is hard to watch someone you love in pain. No it is not a pain that is going to result in death, and I should see that as a blessing, but hey, pain is pain? And noone wants to see someone they are so crazy in love with go through it!
Oscar bottom is still really bad. There are a few huge blisters on there and some spots are bleeding when we change him.
He also has a bad chest infection. It only got bad yesterday and we got some antibiotics today so hopeing he is on the mend!
I got to see his beautiful face for about a half an hour this afternoon :)
Although he was in pain he smiled a bit! ;)
He loved seeing the shadows on the walls and trying to make some!
He is just a crack up!
Please pray his bottom heals... and for good this time! Pray that the nasty cough goes away very soon! Pray for a happy little boy... the one we used to know!
