For fhe this week and next we've been working on an on going project. James' brother Jeff is serving a military tour in Afghanistan, and has just returned after leave for Christmas. We were so sad to see him go, but wanted a way to keep him in our everyday (especially with small kids). So we came up with the plan to send out care packages, and make an effort to do them as on going projects. Send one, start another. We also email him nearly every day and ask the kids to say a few words, or babbles from Hannah.
In searching for some good ideas of what to send I came across this fantastic list on someones blog. Neadless to say, she is a military mom. She seems to know the ins and outs, and I am greatful for her help:) http://militarymomathome.blogspot.com
We now have a few more things to add to his package, and next Monday we should be sending it out. It's just one small way that we can give all our love to someone who is so far away. We miss you Jeff.
