shoes for orphan souls

yaaahoooo! this project has been a long time coming! we decided a while back to focus some of our christmas gift money on purchasing shoes for the "Shoes for Orphan Souls" program through Buckner International. Buckner is located in Mesquite and is an amazing orphanage but also focuses internationally by delievering shoes to orphans around the world as well as children in the metroplex who need them! So, Chloe saved up some money to combine with our christmas money, plus she actually decided to call her grandparents to see if they would donate too! i wish i could replay that conversation..."Hey mimi-you got some money for some shoes for those poor kids that don't have no mommies or daddies or shoes?!" A-dorable! :) So we saved up the money-headed to Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and went shoe crazy! Nate had taken off today so we headed to Buckner to deliver them this afternoon! chloe was a bit confused on why she didn't get to give them to a child...just a "worker man" but still loved it!
