Greenup Family Outtakes

Often people post the best pictures of their kids. Understandable. Once in a while, like 1 out of 134 digital photos taken, turn out with everyone smiling, looking, etc.

Yet, if that was all we ever posted, we'd be giving everyone an unrealistic idea of what normal life is like.

Below are a few photos. And that is that.

Every Day Until We Bring Our Son Home

 Today, August 13th, marks Day 1

My wife thinks I am a bit 'loco' but she has gotten very used to that fact.

Every day until we go to Ethiopia (which could be anywhere from 4 to 8 months) I will be wearing a 'Change Your World For One' shirt. Thankfully I ordered a few for myself, so I won't be wearing the same shirt every day...just the same message.

Heidi did ask that when I go to her cousin's wedding that I wear something else. I agreed, but will be wearing it before and after the wedding.

I will also be wearing a sticker that specifies how many consecutive days it has been since wearing the shirts. I hope people ask as I go about my day, because I'd love to tell them more about it.

I haven't been able to talk her into wearing the shirts every day, but she will be wearing them often also.

Granted, this isn't the most business professional attire for a Realtor, but I think people will get the message of WHY I am doing this. Hopefully I won't lose business for being 'unprofessional', because if this helps get our son home, it's worth wearing.
