Almost seven weeks ago we left the states and today we got our first mail!
Muffy (Julie's Mom) sent us a package with Hawaiian Punch, news for Naomi about The Crocodile Hunter's death, some seasoning packet, and a few other odds and ends. THEN...we got packages from the Browns and Lekics!! Ah....we opened them slowly, savoring every note and treat. It was very much like Christmas. We put everything out on the table and just oohhed and ahhhhhed over it all night long-except for the slippers...we all put those on immediately. Thanks to all of you who sent something. We are rationing out the chocolate, sucking down the koolaid, memorizing the photos, and enjoying every piece of parcel from home. I don't think you'll ever know how much it meant to us. A few of us fell asleep crying...with tears of joy...not because of koolaid, but because of the love that the packages contained. It was so obvious that you knew us and chose things that were so personal and precious. May your gifts come back to you abundantly.
