Acts 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak,remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said " It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Last year around this time Abby, at only ten days old, was hospitalized at Children's Medical Center.We will never forget the kindness and warmth of the doctors and staff there. Dave and I decided that we should donate her birthday gifts this year and had an awesome turnout from friends and family. We were able to donate more than 50 gifts to the children. The staff was almost in tears when they saw how many toys there were.
Our bible study group has decided that we are going to try and donate 100 toys to the hospital this year. Here's the thing...we need your help!!! Many of us are so blessed to have happy healthy kids in our lives. Most of us have not had to wake up on Christmas morning in the hospital with a sick child. Also, most of us have never been that sick child waking up on Christmas morning in the hospital.
I know many people are struggling right now, so all we ask is that you pray about it and if you can give we joyfully and graciously accept the help! Remember, there are many great toys under $10, and Wal Mart will price match any advertised price.
We will come and pick the gifts up, so all you have to do is buy them. No need to wrap them either, see, it just gets easier and easier!!! Also, they do accept gift cards as well. Send me an email (edwells1014@yahoo.com) or respond to this post and let me know if you are up to the challenge. Thank you!!!

A little something I have learned along the way
Being a new mom has taught me a lot of things, here's a few I will share...
Being tired takes on a whole new meaning
Expect the unexpected...and then some
You can find humor in every situation, it just might not be right then
What was once a clean house now becomes clean...enough
Going to the bathroom alone really is a luxury
Some days I think that at any given moment Ashton Kutcher is going to pop out and tell me I am being punkd
I am pretty sure that my one year old could single handily take on an entire class of fifth graders in a food fight...and win!
