More referrals have been sent out but the cutoff date is April 3, 2006. Unless the CCAA only refers one day we should receive a referral January 2010!

Our house is still in a mess from the water damage in October. When we contracted with the restoration company they told us the repair time would take 2-3 weeks. Well that fell by the wayside. We finally got our furniture back in the house December 24. I spent Christmas unpacking boxes and putting things away. I won't bore you with the whole story but the last setback came Sunday morning with I walked down the hall and water came up between the boards of the laminate flooring. When the base boards were put in the hall closet one of the nails hit the hot water feed for the shower. So now the floor is tore up again in the dining room, entry, hall, nursery and master bedroom.

To see the blessing in the situation, at least it happened before we brought Jade home.

Thank you for your prayers.
