Our family is growing!!

These are the eyes of our "Angel"!
A 10 yr old angel named Shilpa!

Who will now be able to call us Mom and Dad!

I am happy to announce that we are her forever family!

We received the call last night saying that we can move forward with adopting her. There are still a few formalities to go through but all in all she is the newest member of our family! I wish I could share full pictures with you but the agency we have to go through this time won't allow us to until we actually have guardianship. I will be sure to keep everyone posted throughout the process. So, until then, you can bask in the beauty of her beautiful brown eyes! :)

Please continue to pray for the process, our finances, and the adjustment It will be a long and hard journey but it will be all worth it in the end.

NYS Dillon Days

NYS Dillon Day is on the calendar!! It's been very exciting for me to be able to plan this 1st ever event! It is set for August 21st in Binghamton, NY. Come for the weekend or just for the day, it's up to you! The Comfort Suites on Vestal Parkway will have rooms blocked at a special rate for Dillon International families. It's right across from Binghamton University and Chuck E. Cheese is about 1/4 mile up the road!

Friday 7-9 Meet & Greet with Jerry and Denise Dillon
Saturday 10-5 Zoo Day at Ross Park Zoo ($4 per person)
3-6 Pizza Party and games at Ross Park ($10 per family)
7-? Minor League Ball game at Municipal Field ($7 per person)
Sunday is a free day to explore Binghamton, meet some new friends for lunch or whatever you would like before you venture home! We are hoping to make this an annual event!

There will be time for autographs if you get to the ballpark early and the first 1000 kids under 14 through the gates get a free Webkinz! Also... if you have a Zoo Membership to any other zoo you should be able to get into the Ross Park Zoo for FREE! We get a membership to the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, NY and Ross Park Zoo is on the reciprocating list (along with many others across the US). Invites will be going out later next week. If you are not in NY or PA and would like an invite please let me know and I would be happy to forward you one.
