Only adding to the guilt is that people seem to always send us the sweetest, most thoughtful things...not to mention all of the generous things that are done for us on an almost weekly basis. This week proved no different, when we received the following, very unexpected gifts in the mail:
Thank you to Jadon's Nanay and Tatay for this awesome package for Jadon!
He LOVES the books and has started watching the first DVD every morning. We plan on starting the flashcards this coming week :)
The other unexpected package we got in the mail this week was from the mom of one of the girls who used to be in my small group at our awesome church in Morgantown. Since we left there in April 2006, Sheila (Kylie's mom) has done the most awesome job of making me feel missed and loved in WV. She has kept in constant contact with me, keeping me updated on her two beautiful girls in their journeys through high school. She is one of the most amazing women I know, and is right up there with my mom and Jamie's mom as one of the sweetest, most thoughtful moms ever...truly born to be a mom...you know the kind...one I aspire to be like, always putting her kids' needs above her own. Just an awesome mom!
So anyway, I open this package from Sheila, and it had a bag of the best smelling Fall leaves ever! That's right, she sent me a bag full of leaves from WV, since she heard I miss the Fall there :) How sweet is that??? Along with the leaves she sent a card and a picture of her BEAUTIFUL girls at their homecoming dance a few weeks ago. Thank you sooo much, Sheila! I have a running list of cards, letters, and gifts that I've wanted to send you and your family over the last few years...yes, years! One day, you're going to get a surprise in your mailbox too! I promise ;)Thank you to everyone who always makes us feel so loved and thought of. There are too many of you to list. We are truly blessed to have so many thoughtful family and friends!
