Come Out and Say It

I'll just come out and say it...does anyone want to donate money toward new scrubs for a bunch (35) of nannies? When I go back in July I will be volunteering at two new orphanages in Addis. All of the nannies wear old scrubs that were donated a couple years ago. Since they are becoming all tattered and torn I would like to get them new ones. I went to a store today and inquired about possible donations or discounts. The lady happened to be a Christian and very compassionate towards missions she seemed to really want to help - it may have been the fact that Elias snuggled with her and made her tear up or that she felt something from God...we will never know. So needless to say the most expensive (with no discount) price would be $8.75(tax included) for one piece of the set. If you would be interested please let me know ASAP. Thank you so much.

Home

I know what a boring title. I have been home for four days now. It has been so peaceful already. I have missed my family so much that it is a joy to be home. My brothers are doing so well and seem to be adjusting wonderfully. My nephew is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen. Today is my dad's day to watch him but since he had to take Israel to the dentist (in Mexico) I get to watch Elias today. We have been hanging out and making a movie and sent it to Autumn. I never really understood the desire to be a stay at home mom - I always thought it would be boring. After only one day with Elias I think I can understand a little bit. I love spending time with my family - it is good for my soul.
