Mission Opportunities

Little E received a great package for her birthday. George arrived. Oh, how she loves George. He has been washed who knows how many times. He now has a limp neck from all the hugs Little E has given him. Daddy and I were discussing not to long ago that it might not be a bad idea to get a back up George to break in. A friend told me it's good to have more than one! I started to do some research. He came from Tuesday Morning. So Bec headed to the store where he was born, no George. I headed to the store here, no George. I then take a better look at his tag--ah, a website. I find George!! But the minimum purchase is 1,200! We love George, but not that much! The company did send me a list of all the stores they sell to (TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Kohl's, Dillard's, Tuesday Morning, JC Penney, Macy's, Kroger, Target). If you think about it while you are in one of those stores, we will pay good money for a new George!

Here is George wearing with Mommy and Daddy's shoes. Daddy went to the Orange Conference back in May and learned about TOMS (Shoes for Tomorrow). This week Daddy had Make a Difference with the kids at church. They learned how to serve others and "Make a Difference". He told them about how this guy Blake wanted to make a difference by putting shoes on the feet of the kids in Argentina. You buy a pair and a child gets a pair too. One for one. Daddy and I just recently got our new ones in. If you need a pic to show all of George's tan and white stripes, let us know and we will take the shoes off for you!

Back up toys are one thing, but 1200 back ups - now that's crazy!

I like the shoe thing, I'll have to check it out.

Hey, I showed my mom your blog and she loved your pictures. She agrees that you have a super cute kid. :) What brand is George? My mom (who loves to shop) said she'd keep her eye out for another one.
