Puzzle progress

Here is our puzzle so far! The pieces in the box are already purchased. The up-side-down ones are available. We still need to get 218 pieces sponsored, which is about 20 per week if we want to get it done before we travel! Just $5.30 gets your name (or a friend or loved one's) on a piece. You can sponsor as many as you like, have a quote, or greeting written on it, all of the members of your family, etc. Lots of big blocks of pieces left if you want a big space. And if you purchase at least 2 pieces or share our fundraiser, you will be entered in our give-away!

To purchase a piece make your donation to our Reece's Rainbow grant (tax deductible!) or PayPal (not tax-deductible). 

Since the weather is warming we will be reopening our Porch Store! If you have anything you would like to donate to it, just let us know. Our big sale will be the 3rd weekend in May! We are also starting a can/bottle drive. There will be a large drop off container in front of the house. Just stop by and drop them in! 

Ok now for a financial update. We still need a significant amount before we can go. Hubby has sold stock, gotten a bonus, and we have some funds from our tax refund (though some has to go to some fencing and such for the horses). This still leaves us about  $3-4k short to just get Jacob home (including our plane tickets). If we add a second child we will still need another $4-8k on top of that. That is a lot of money obviously. I know God is bigger than that though and we can chip it away little by little!

**update 4/6/13 - We have 211 left!
**update 4/30/13 - We have 206 left
**update 5/2/13 - 196 left to get sponsored!!
