Crate Update!
745 days after packing it, our crate arrived at our home in Zambia. We were thrilled to find after unpacking that nothing was damaged, not even a scratch! For missionaries, getting your crate is like Christmas as we often forget what we packed. I thought you might enjoy some pictures (click on pictures to enlarge)
More pictures to come as we get unpacked!
We were told the crate would arrive on Monday, but were not told when. We received quite the surprise when the truck showed up at 6:45 a.m.
The kids were still asleep, but quickly woke up and it was a bit like Christmas morning!
We were given a sheet of paper and told to circle the numbers as they pulled items out of the crate.

The kids loved playing in the paper as I unwrapped the items. Makayla was great at helping drag the paper out to the back porch.
Poor Rameses and Raider had to be chained up while they were unloading. (The dogs are still growing, at 8 months old they both weighed right at 70 lbs.)

This doesn't quite capture the complete mess that our house was, but it give you a good idea.
The guys were very thorough when they packed the crate, making sure to utilize every space.

The kids in their santa hats... it did feel like Christmas!
Karissa found her cooking utensils. She loves to cook and bake!
