  2. Hey Ash!
    This is so great how much everyone is pitching in! I've been so bad about commenting, but Jamie and I would love to help. Unfortunatly, we don't have the funds to pitch in financially, but we would love to be there on the 17th to help you out. I will look around to see if I can find some good buys on some of the things that need filled. Anyways, sorry about not commenting very much, but we've been thinking about you and totally support what you're doing. How have you been? We sure love you both. Take care of that little bun in the oven for us! :)

  3. Would the personal progress journals that the church puts out for personal progress work? They have a temple on the front, and about 20 pages of journal space inside, for $1

  4. In regards to the journal, I'd rather not make it a religious thing. There were very few members in the PICU while we were there. Thanks though!

  7. I love this idea! I've just sent 150 packages of fruit leather to Chelsea's address. Be looking for the box in a few days. May God bless you for giving so much back to the other affected families.
