Day 10 - Giving Back

This year we are donating to an organization called Open Arms Mission. We have "adopted" two children in need - we are responsible for getting each child a shirt, pants, shoes, pajamas and a gift item they have requested. The boys are each taking responsibility for one child and today we went to Walmart to get what was needed. I realize they are young (Kale too young to truly understand what we're doing), however we want the boys to understand how fortunate they are to always have food on the table and clothes on their backs. It clearly won't sink in this year and probably not for a few years to come, however it's something Cameron & I feel strongly about and we always want our boys to know about the struggles of others so they appreciate the fact that our necessities are always available.

Here they are gathering their loot:

When Cameron got home and asked Dane about what we bought and for who, Dane explained the situation fairly well which makes me think that maybe a bit of it did sink in for him.
