Going vs. Coming




I was a little curious to see how Jonathan coming home would compare to him leaving... So I snapped a few pictures before he left. We were fortunate to find out that flights going into Haiti don't charge baggage fees. Jonathan was able to tote along four bags with him. He took his personal essentials and some medical supplies and with the rest of the room we decided to put in some clothing, toys, markers, hygiene items etc. for him to give to people in his tent hospital. When we realized that he had a little space left we told Matthew to go and pick out some of his toys that he wanted to give away to the kids in Haiti. He was VERY generous. My bedroom exploded and there was a bit of disappointment when everything Matthew had wanted to give away wouldn't fit in Daddy's suitcase. Maybe another trip.

So cool that you're family is all taking part in something so wonderful. I love that your boys are learning how to give to those in need at such an early age. Hope things are well at home without Dad. I'm sure you're being blessed in many ways!

How sweet is Matthew!? I wish I could get my Matty to throw out even one broken toy, and here yours is willingly giving up so many good ones!! That's awesome!
