Lots of snow
No school
Lots of shoveling
Lots of fun and a first for Hannah “Annie”…playing in the snow! 
You decide by the smile if the SNOW was a hit!
The faces of adoption…

Ting Ministries in the Daily Item Newspaper!
Ting Ministries wants to move our headquarters to a bigger location…and we need your help!
Because Ting Ministries is a locally based organization, our family works out of our home and it means wherever we go, the ministry goes. So, a bigger house means multiple benefits: not only more room for my sisters to do therapy and use equipment and more room for more children to come home, it also means added office space and privacy for adoption counseling, both of which are not accomodated in our current location.
You may remember I set up a fundraiser at www.youcaring.com/surprisehome. Did you know our story appeared in The Daily Item on Christmas Day? Below are pictures of the article While it’s no longer a surprise the page is still up and the need is still great! I hope you will take time to check back in on it today. Thank you to all who have been praying, hoping and waiting with Ting Ministries!

She weighed 12 pounds and couldn’t hold up her head. Now, over four years later, she is full of life and loves to play! This Christmas, she stood next to her sister Rachele for photos!
