We received our first care package from the States. It was from my Mom and my sister Diana and her family. They obviously knew we needed candy! It was a great treat. The kids (knowing their Aunt Diana) knew that it would be a special package and were waiting with baited breath. We only go and check our mail once a week and so we hoped that it would be here this week. When Ron went and checked the mail, he came back empty handed. The kids were so disappointed. However, when Ron came back our language helper was here and he wanted to wait so that the kids would be fully concentrating on learning. Shortly after he left, Ron went to the car and retrieved the packages - way exciting!!! There were many practical things as well as fun things - included were some of the things we took for granted: baggies, index cards, candy, hair spray, drink mixes (in English), English movies! Here are some pics.
Thanks Nana, Aunt Diana, Uncle Mike, Austin and Chase!!!! Love and miss you guys!
