As you can see, Abby loves to cook. Helping bake cookies is one of her favorite things. When we were adopting Abby, Landis and Sami one of the ways we raised money was by creating the adoption cookbook.We compiled dozens of recipes from the countries and families of adopted children. Salads, appetizers, main dishes, soups, desserts... over 150 pages of great recipes.
We have several cases of the cookbooks leftover from that fundraising effort. We would like to offer them again to do some fundraising for the expenses related to Abby's leukemia. Gas, food, prescriptions, hospitals, doctors, tests... at a time when our income was unexpectedly and dramatically cut, our expenses went up.
But, we don't simply want to ask for money. We want to sell this fantastic recipe book for a price you would happily pay at a book store. The recipes are wonderful, and the pictures of the adopted kids heartwarming.
On the cover is a picture Abby, and Amy Block's daughter, Aleigha. Many of you know Amy already but if you don't make sure you check out her blog here... you won't be disappointed.
If you would like to buy one, it would be a real blessing for Abby and our family.

I am going to have to get one !! :)
I had a really busy week and haven't been able to visit your site much. Does this mean Abby is home?
the cookbook is a great idea!
I'm going to have to get one, too!
Peace and Hugs,

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for stopping by Sydney's blog and praying for her - in the midst of all that you have going on. Praying for Abby - esp. for tomorrow's visit.
Blessings,
Sandy
Just ordered the cookbook. I love cookbooks...and such cute photos of the little ones in it in addition to the great recipes! :)
Abby has a gorgeous smile. I'm glad her last hospital stay was a short one. I'll be thinking about and praying for your family this week.
Peace.

Hi Michelle - we'll be sure to get one of those cookbooks! Thanks for letting us know about it, and hope you've had a good weekend at home. We will continue our prayers as Abby receives chemo again tomorrow.
Thanks also for asking about Cece. She's doing great, other than the fact that she won't go to sleep :-) I do worry a bit about the cold weather coming on but for now all is well. It is sweet of you to ask.
Kiss the cook for me! :0) Love you guys and praying daily for all of you! Love, Amy
How fun with the cookies! That seems to be popular in our house too! I ordered a cookbook and can't wait to see the great recipes!
Hugs to all of you and special extra prayers for Abby.
IS it ok for us to spread the word about this fundraiser on our blog??
I'm so confused, but anyway - glad that we found each other.
Praying for a good visit today.

I continue to lift Abby and your family up in prayer. I have a special prayer for Abby that I like. You all are amazing.
Hugs,
Robin
I just found your blog from kissthefrog4me. I would love adding Abby's picture to my blog and was wondering if that was o.k. If I could add her beautiful face to my side bar and pray for her I would be honored to do so. Let me know. Thanks and blessings.
