Crane Vs. Crane

It was freezing and I didn't want to get out of my warm little domichka so Anna Kate volunteered to document the arrival of the long awaited container. Wow... words can't express the trouble/waiting/worrying this little[BIG] container gave the Kellys but man was every moment worth it. This HUGE thing was filled to the brim with clean matresses, baby supplies, medical equipment for wounded/amputee soldiers and clothes for families in the war zones.

As I said on Facebook, "Our 'job' for the next couple of days... Sorting this huge crate is a big job but also such a ginormous blessing for the people here!!!!!! So glad it finally made it from Abilene, Tx to our baby village out in the woods!!!!! If crates could talk, this one would share quite a story." So thankful that Andrei & Misha (orphans that stay with us on the weekends until the Morrows move in January), all the older shelter kids, 2 of the refugee dads, Uncle Ray, Zander, Lindsay, Anna Kate, Andrew and I were able to get the stuff unloaded and sorted in record time with minimal scrapes and bruises that night!!!! It was cold and snowy at some parts, but everyone kept pushing through and working with good attitudes.
