She sent me yet another package! (I forgot one sweater I wanted and then "needed" some fun make up from Mac). This huge box arrived and it was full of not just stuff for me but for my friends here! She sent more butterfingers for Ingrid--which was perfect because it was Ingrid's baby shower on Sunday and I received the package on Saturday, so I was able to put in those fun candies as a fun surprise! She sent more almonds and Baby Ruth's for Jared. Make up for Michelle and these cool little soaps from Pier 1. And super fun soaps in the shape of Ice Cream for Beks. Plus fun american candy for Ruby, lotion for Ali, a cute shirt that I gave to Georgia (the picture below...and that is my new jacket! The shirt says "save the planet, it is the only one with shopping malls" which is perfect since Georgia is my little shopping buddy.)
(here is one of Georgia and her brother Mackensie...he blows me kisses every week at church...oh how I love the 7 year old boys that adore me...He makes me miss ZANE all the time!!!)
I have such admiration for Mom's but I LOVE mine! She has taught me so much about loving people, making people feel valuable and giving her kids a safe place to always come home to.
THANK YOU MOM!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING AND I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU AS A MOM!!!!!!

LOVE the jacket! And I love that your masquerade ball reminded you of our wedding so many long years ago:). All I remember from my reception was dancing the entire time and maybe saying hello to one guest, I was a terrible hostess but I had so much fun!
How cool is it that you got to go to a ball? How many girls can say that in this day and age? It seems that you seize each and every day by the horns and squeeze every last bit of fun and discovery out of it Dana. I'm so impressed by how you live your days, full of loving on people, wrestling with issues and growing pains, it sounds fantastic. Have you had a dull day yet in NZ? Is there anything for Trav and I to do down there? We are on the lookout for where God might have us next!

My comment is the same as Annie's, love the jacket, it is so cute!
Is there anything better than receiving a package from family when you are away! I love it when we get stuff in the mail, it is always for the kids, but I still get joy out of it from their excitement!
i need your email address!
OH I miss your mom! She is amazing! I hope I teach my kids to love as well as your mom has taught you! Love you

your mama needs to send you Benefit....it's like getting a little bit of Shanny :-)
