Wink I know that every penny counts. . .

but this made me literally laugh out loud!!

We are starting to collect change for our adoption fund. In February, we will be adding about $2500 a month to the fund, but our fund is admittedly pretty weak right now.

I found some change today, so our adoption fund went up by a whopping 33 cents today! We now have a grand total of $58.28!! Only about $17,941.72 to go!! LOL
