Military Heros (Kids)

Before Luke left, I was starting to look for things for the kids and I to do to keep us busy and also some things for kids that has their military parent gone.

While searching the net, I came across a site that gave military hero packs to kids and so I emailed the lady and told her our story and here is what she sent the kids...


You are looking at the backpacks and everything that came in them.


Here is one of the jounals that the kids got and I gave it to them, right after we got back from Florida.  I wanted them to write in them everyday, so they can let their Dad know what has been going on, in case there is someting they forgot to tell him on the phone. 

Here is the backpack that will be for Justin, when I give it to him.

Here is the bigger backpack that will be given to Casey.

The first jounaling for Justin.

Casey's jounal is a little different, then Bubba's, but she likes it anyways.

Casey's jounal already had something written in there for her and she loved it.  She wants to write the person a Thank You note, but I don't know who it is.  This package of stuff came from the 4-H club in Northern Virginia.

Casey's first entry.

*I didn't give all the things to the kids at once, I am saving them for when they have 'down' days and need a little up lifting.
