Christmas in May!!

Today we got our second set of care packages (thanks again to both sets of grandparents for the packages you sent!). These boxes came from one of the community groups at our church (Redeemer Community Church in Little Rock).

I wish I could adequately describe the excitement in our home as Scott rode up with boxes on the back of his motorcycle. The younger kids were jumping up and down....but we all felt like it on the inside!!

Thank you so so much to the Rens, Bells, Van Den Berghes, Hutsells, Anders, and Yates families for blessing us SO MUCH!!

Everyone is so excited as Scott pulls things out of the boxes! And if you look at Nate you can see his poor back...still peeling from our too-much-fun-in-the-sun time last week! :(

New coloring books!!


Trying to catch a peek of the goodies....


Benji LOVES his computer game from Stephen Bell! THANKS!


Laura was SUPER excited about gummy worms!!


Melissa has been craving Reeses since we got here!


All the little kids loved the pez dispensers. After Nate finished the candy, the dispenser became a toy! He and Garrett are outside playing with them as I type this post!


Annie started coloring immediately!!


Garrett was happy to eat his candy while watching Benji play his new computer game.


Kingy wondered WHAT Melissa was eating! We sent ring pops home with Mama Benna for all her kiddos.


And shared with Abi (our next door neighbor)!

Thanks so much to everyone who blessed our family!


We feel so loved! We are so thankful for our church family that loves us, prays for us, sends us encouraging emails and facebook messages, and blesses us with fun care packages! Thank you for your support!
