sending some love your way

We got two big boxes of LOVE last week from some super special people! My cousin, Jane, who I don't think I've ever actually met in person, has "adopted" our family. She is a huge blessing to me. She sends great emails, asks great questions about our life here, prays for me, and makes us feel super loved.

She leads a group of kids and they worked really hard putting this stuff together for us. Each week the kids brought in their own money and saved it up to get these goodies for us. They went to Walmart and had a blast getting stuff on our wish list and other surprises!

We had a BLAST opening it and we're enjoying all the stuff!! Thank you guys sooo much for all the time, love, money, and energy you put into getting this stuff to us. Andy and I both said we felt so loved and cared for. TO TEAM KID: Your package crossed lots of land and water to get here-my guess is it was on 3 or 4 different planes! And when it arrived it was still full of all the love you put in it-and the goodies too! My box runneth over! Jack in the BOX!! We couldn't resist-we opened the craisins immediately!

Jack ate the box while we ate craisins.

OH BLESS YOU STARBURST SENDERS!!! EG LOVED EVERYTHING!!!!!

She's figuring out how to work Jack's toy!

Thank you guys soooo much for everything! I can't wait to make this new cake I've been wanting to try. Now I have the ingredients to make it! Andy thanks you! Emma Grace has already put the craft items to good use! We had craft time today and used the color pencils! And for the puppy and the giant boxes, Jack says, "YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!"We feel so loved. Having some American goodies is such a fun treat for us! Thank you for all you did for us. We are grateful.

We also got another package this week and it had something in it that starts with a CHIC...can anyone guess what it was? I'll reveal that in my next post!!!!!! My clues: It starts with a CHIC, it was vacuum sealed, and it made one female in our family VERY HAPPY!!!
