Summer's here!!

Just wanted to give a quick update and let everyone know that we are all doing well! We are still working diligently on our video and my goal is to have it in the mail to the organization by the first week of July. We are already falling behind with it but hope to pick up and catch up soon!

Noah is having a great summer and we are staying very busy! We don't spend much time at home these days as we are out having too much fun!

I'm considering having a small fundraiser towards the end of summer to help with the costs of out trip. I'm not sure yet if we will and if so what it will be but I'll keep you posted!! I've estimated the cost at about $3000 for the trip and that doesn't include the supplies we need for the dog once it's home. Please take a moment to look at our "Doggie Wish List" to the left and if you are able to help us with any of these things please feel free to contact me! Any help is greatly appreciated! As always, we ask for your prayers more than anything!

Have a great summer!

Just a quick Hello!!

I just wanted to stop in and say hi!! So HI!!

We are all doing well but this whole waiting game is getting old really quick! I don't think October can get here fast enough! We have been steadily working on our video, trying to get everything possible so that the organization will have all the info they need to train Noah's dog! I was able to get part of a meltdown on tape. Of course now when the camera comes out, Noah wants to "talk to his dog" so trying to get the things we need on tape are proving to be difficult! We have only a few more weeks of taping before we have to get the video in!!

In the meantime, I've also begun selling Avon. I started selling it as a way to save up some money for our trip. So far it is going well! I know I won't make much doing it at first but this will also be a way for us to save for the added expenses of the dog once it's here!! If you would like to order from me, please visit my web site www.youravon.com/hpittillo You can select direct delivery (have items shipped directly to you) or representative delivery (Items come to me and I deliver to you). Remember when you order you are also helping out Noah!! Because this money raised is going directly to us for our expenses, it is not tax deductible.

Don't forget to check the "doggie wish list" on the left! I've added some more wishes to it! We've has a few people tell us they are working on getting somethings on our list but haven't received anything yet so all items needed are still listed!!

Thanks so much for your support and prayers!!
