Books for Babies


As previously mentioned, we are very blessed to have others join us in our journey to bring home a child from Ethiopia.
Our downstairs neighbors and their dear friend Mark set out on a journey of their own to help with some of the financial aspects of our adoption. They have put in many long hours to prep and create the handmade journals that you will see below. Each journal is not only an artistic creation reflecting their abilities, but an act of service to our family as well. Once the journals were created and finished they didn't stop there. They contacted a local gallery here in town and shared with the owner their desire to sell the journals raising money for our adoption. The owner of the gallery graciously offered her business, Keag Gallery, as an avenue to sell the journals and is asking for nothing in return. We are so humbled by the actions of others and continue to search for words to honor their acts of kindness.

Some examples of the handmade journals created by Mark and Mike.
The journals on display in the Keag Gallery.

If you or someone you know are interested in purchasing a journal and contributing to our journey please contact us.
