Just reminding and hoping that you guys are looking in your communities for a family that we could help this season. We had a family mentioned today by Jamie (Drew's wife) that they personally know. They own coffee houses around town and she has been diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. They are having to sell their house because of troubles with the incoming Starbucks and the fact that they are focusing more on her health than work right now.
We "adopted" two families last Christmas and I know we can do that again, so please post if you know of a family. Again, if we have more than 2 families suggested, we will figure out what to do together.

Hey guys - it's time to start thinking about our Christmas family this year!! Last year we were able to help two families and I know we can do that again! Please look around your communities, your churches and friends to see if you know of a family that we could help. Last year Dad, Paula, and I did a lot of the shopping. Depending on where our Christmas families are (geographically) we may need other people to do the shopping. Other things that will need to be done are gathering the money, getting wish lists from the families and wrapping the gifts. We would gladly do it again (it's a lot of fun) but want you guys to have a chance to do it if you would like to. So please, think of a family that you know of and let us know if you want to shop! I don't know how we will "select" our families if we have a lot of them suggested, we'll figure it out as we go I guess.
