And I know I am forgetting some... what an amazing community we live in! In addition to donations, people have been asking to help - and when I don't know what to ask them to do, they just tell me what they will do! PERFECT! I love the kind of friends who see a need and jump in, regardless of how hard the task is or how bad their friend (me) is at asking for help! THANKS FRIENDS!!!

On another note, we sent the kids stuff yesterday to our new friend Jen who will be traveling to get their kids in 1 week! WOW! I babbled to the guy at the mail place all about our kids - he wasn't so impressed but somehow that didn't stop me from talking a mile a minute! Oh, well...
