One week from tomorrow!

Wow! In eight days we will be on new soil; what an amazing feeling it is! Today I spent the day going to the post office to put our mail on hold, then off to the bank for our money management, and finally there was Christmas shopping for our new friends in Chapala. We will be bringing mostly school supplies and sport related items, along with lots of new socks and stocking stuffers. Our plan is to buys all the kids new shoes when we get there. Evan and Wen have decided to share their TY Beenie Babies Collection, so now we are adding in 40+ little stuffed animals. Words can not describe our excitement for the trip. Although our scheduled is packed until we leave, I think everything is falling into place. Thank you to everyone that gave us supplies for the orphanage. We are now up to five bags with 1 adult and 2 kids (that should be an amusing sight). We will keep you posted on our preparation for the big trip!
