Packing Party

This is just a small sampling....

......before it really got messy!

Yesterday evening we had a packing party and I was completely blown away. We have been so blessed with all the donations that we have to take.....really! My living room looked like Christmas all over again! It went something like this....pack, weigh and re-pack! Weigh and re-pack some more! Continue the cycle several more times and finally we decided that we would have to pay the penalty and check one more bag. We will have 6 pieces of checked luggage that have nothing but donations (that would be over 300 lbs of donations) and then another 5 checked bags for our personal belongings! We have a ton of over the counter medication, baby formula, wet wipes, medical supplies, much needed prescription medication and lots and LOTS more specific things that the orphanage has requested!

Thank you to everyone who contributed...in small ways and in big ways. We could not thank you enough! I know they are going to just be amazed at your generosity!
3 days and counting!
