Jill and I have come up with an idea that we’re kind of excited about. We were walking the dog and I was talking about how the economy is really hurting non-profit ministries like ours, and then we started talking about the baby, and then we sort of combined the two conversations and came up with a whole new idea.
We have already received a lot of great gifts to get us ready for the baby, and Jill has done an incredible job finding ways to buy used stuff like bouncy seats and playmats and a whole mess of stuff that I had no idea babies required. So we’re planning an Alternative Baby Shower for those of you who might still want to get something, but have no idea what.
Instead of buying a gift at a store for us, we’re inviting you to give to orphaned children through God’s Kids. Just follow this link to give a gift to third world kids in honor of Baby Leonard. We’ll be able to track how much money Baby Leonard has raised for orphaned children, and we’ll send you a thank you card and everything.
For those of you who’ve already purchased a gift for us, don’t worry, we haven’t changed and we still love surprises!
Also, I wrote more about the idea over on the Orphan blog if you’re interested.
Here are some socks and a blanket that I made this past week.
