I have been working on putting together a blog of what has been going on over the past few weeks, but seeing as so much emotion is involved it has been difficult to put into words what we are experiencing. In the meantime...
I will be in Ohio from September 17th to October 1st. I am also using that time to get stuff that is harder to get and/or are just way more expensive here (including some very early Christmas shopping). I have put together a "baby registry" on Amazon and it is under "Carissa Chapin".
Here is a breakdown of everything on the registry because I know that I enjoy buying gifts knowing who they are going to :) Would you consider helping us out with stuff around the house and helping us prepare a fun Christmas for the kids?
Books:
A bilingual bible for Jose.
3 Minute Devotional Book for Jose.
Jesus Calling for Kids so that we have a good devotional book to read to the kids every night.
Because I love You, Topsy-Turvy Kingdom, A Max Lucado Children's Treasury, and The Wonderful World of Wemmicks... all books that teach of Gods love and purpose on our lives.
For the House:
We have a big problem with some of our rooms echoing a ton, so on the list there are blankets to hang up as decorations to help limit the echos. Star Wars for the boys room, sunflowers for the girls room and the sloth for the play room.
We are about to redecorate our main bathroom because it is in bad need of a spruce up, we will be decorating with dinosaurs so we have a fun shower curtain picked out.
Therapy:
Light up gloves for sensory play for Christian
Christmas presents:
Baby Doll Wheelchairs for both Teresita and Genesis
Star Nightlight for Roxana
Ball Pit for Paola
Repeating Panda for Cristina
Interactive Corgi Toy for Danilo
If you are able to help out, please make sure the orders are placed before September 17th, so that I know what we have and can make other plans. Also, if anyone in the Troy area has an extra suit case or two that wouldn't be a problem to part with, it would be a huge help! (that way I will not have to pay to take multiple empty bags to the states just to bring stuff back down). IF you are able to help out with the suitcases, please message me through facebook.
Whether or not you can help with the list, your thoughts and prayers and continued support are very much appreciated! We also want to thank you everyone for your continued prayers through this very emotionally difficult time, we can not express our gratitude enough!
