It was an especially hot day, J– was gone on a business trip and I had one of those no good, terrible awful days. The kids were in bed (finally!) and I decided to cheer myself up with a treat. I opened our food stash for some fruit to find a package of freeze dried fruit that had been mailed to us – on it was written scripture…it was exactly what my soul needed to keep going. Words cannot express the ways your thoughtfulness blesses us when we need to be encouraged. Thank you. Please read the bottom of this post if you want to send a financial gift<\/em><\/p>\n

Flat rate boxes are our recommendation for shipping they help alot with shipping charges! PLEASE PLACE “garage sale” prices on the customs form and do not include any type of packaging slip from a company or we will be charged an arm and a leg to get it out of customs. Much thanks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ideas for the kids:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now they are most excited about Adventures in Odyssey \ud83d\ude42 If you send $ to the address below (stateside) with a note that says kids odyssey we can order an MP3 for them online to listen to right here and let them know who its from. An album is around $17 and one episode is $1.99.<\/p>\n

They love legos or creative craft projects<\/p>\n

Any type of reading book for the girls they love to read!<\/p>\n

Small portable toys. Felt food, legos. Holiday craft projects are very fun. Favorite games that are age appropriate or family appropriate are a huge hit (and things we play with teammates and local friends!) For boys any thing non army print, crafts that are boy\/ age appropriate puzzles under 50 pieces, legos, or costumes (for the boys).<\/p>\n

Ideas for J–:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zebra 301 fine tip pens (seriously this is all he keeps asking for!)<\/p>\n
