Making Progress

Thanks to so many of you who have given us some of the items we requested.  We have been amazed to receive a baby backpack, suitcases & duffle bags, laundry bags, mattress pads, a queen size air mattress and lots of blankets and linens!!!  I am excited because I think I'll actually be able to keep my little guy & girls warm during the cold, rainy months!  At this point, the only thing we still need is large duffle bags.  Wow!!!  We feel very blessed. 

Last night Mark & I spent time packing linens in vaccuum sealed bags and then into suitcases which will hopefully be sent in June with a team going from Nashville.   We also packed the bulk of our homeschool curriculum.  We're making progress. 

We still would love to sell our house, so if you know anyone interested, send them our way (www.heartofwestknoxville.com).  Feel free to forward that website to any of your e-mail or facebook contacts.  Someone may know someone :-).   

Financial support is coming along.  Thank you very much to those of you who have supported us in this way.  We now have a way for you to have a donation withdrawn automatically from your checking account.  If you're interested in setting that up (especially for those of you donating monthly), just let us know & we'll give you the information necessary for that (mwmckinney@gmail.com).   

At this point, we're still aiming to leave late July.  Eliza turns 3 on July 26th, so we've told her perhaps she'll get to ride on an airplane for her 3rd birthday.  She thinks that's pretty cool, but wants to make sure she still gets her cake!!  We'll have to make that happen...even if it's in the Atlanta aiport!
