THE REED FAMILY JOURNEY THROUGH ADOPTION

This blog is our way of communicating God's blessings with you throughout our adoption process. We can honestly say God has led us in this direction and we have never been more sure of anything. Of course we are scared, worried, anxious, and many other emotions. But, we do know that God's hand is in this!

You will find updates on our adoption process as well as the Reed's day to day activities. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as adoption is a long but rewarding process. God bless!

Fire!!









So, we came home today to a yard full of smoke and ash, not to mention the smoke smell in our house. So, if we smell like a campfire for the next few days you know why. They are building houses beside us and they were burning trees today. I didn't know they could do that in a residential neighborhood! They supposedly have a permit. I would like to petition that there should be no burning in residential neighborhoods. Haul it off!! Also, why are you burning when it is 100 degrees outside and dry as the Sahara?



I was sitting here reading a book with my feet propped up when the firetruck whizzed by. I jumped up and ran outside. Thankfully the fire had not spread. A neighbor called and complained about the smoke and ash. Apparently if they have a permit, they can burn until someone complains. Once someone complains they have to put it out. There has been much excitement on the Cornerstone Drive today. Two police cars and the firetruck.
