I was so excited to get an update with pictures in my inbox regarding the progress on Grace’s new baby home in Tijuana, Mexico. God spoke directly to my heart when we were working at the orphanage last December. He told me to donate 100% of ad revenue from my blog to help in the construction of this new abandoned baby home. I am so excited to show you the progress!
Here is what it looked like when we were there right before Christmas:
And here is the progress:
The first floor is completely finished, and they have begun framing the second floor! You can see the main orphanage to the left.
Here is an artist’s rendering of what the baby home will look like when complete:
Isn’t that cool? God is on the move! Thank you guys for being a part of this with me. I’m not sure when the project will be complete, but my secret prayer is that it will be done this summer. I would love to go down with Kahuna and the kids and help care for the babies. That would be amazing!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

That is awesome!!! Congratulations!! it's great to see it come together huh? One of our local pastors just traveled to Mexico this past week to visit an orphanage and see what work they can prepare for when they return this summer. I'm enjoying seeing the adventures through both of your stories.

HOW AWESOME.
I wanted to let you know some big news. My blog has moved to www.itssoverycheri.com
Please come over and RE-SIGN UP to follow me at the new site. Google does not allow you to take your followers. If you have already found the new site-sorry for the confusion. (Some don;t have links set up so I can't see their blog, plus going back and forth between the 2 blogs...) I am trying to go back and forth between the old blog and the new, while I am getting through all my followers. I am super close to closing down my old blog.
I also have a new give-a-way that started yesterday.
Cheri www.itssoverycheri.com
Hope all is well with you and your family. Missing updates! ;) God bless.
That is great!
