NEW PHOTO OF CARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Folks, its Jake.  Thats right, its been a bit since I have posted so I thought I would give it another go around.  We were so excited today to receive an "oh so recent" photo of our little man Carter.  We were so pumped with the news that there had been a "Carter sighting!"  A few families are in country right now and alerted us that they had seen him and he was smiling, bubbly, adorable, alert, making eye contact and much more. 

I was so so pumped to know this little guy was outside enjoying the day and was alert and happy.  I couldn't contain my joy and then tears began to come. Tears! What! I dont even know this kid.....we have never met!  But then, I realized something so important.  God has been creating in me an unconditional love for this boy, my son.  I cant believe how strong these fatherly feelings are becoming.  Even when there is thousands of miles in distance between me and my boy.  Only God.  Only, God, has the ability to create such a bond.  I know as each day passes and as my love grows deeper that God is ordaining every step of this journey.

Now, onto the picture....

As all of you know we are doing a T-Shirt fundraiser right now.....

Some of you may also know that I am some what of a jokester/prankster/happy-go-lucky kinda guy.....

So.....

We are holding the picture HOSTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats right. HOSTAGE.  Below you will see the "picture" of Carter, but there is one problem:  It is completely covered by colored patchwork (24 to be exact).  For each T-Shirt we sell we will remove a square from the picture and in time will reveal the picture of our little guy!  This should be a lot of fun so spread the word that the challenge is on!!

We are praying to sell all 24 this weekend!  We know God can do it for us!
