curtains/spring tension rods/tie backs for girls' closet doors (2) --- we have had a couple of people offer us the rods, so that is covered & the curtains were bought today!

shoes for Andrew & Kourtney (would require taking them shopping, so maybe a gift card?)

clothes for both kids--have had offers from multiple people & we're already getting bags of goodies dropped off on our doorstep....so I think we're ok for now. Give us some time to sort through what we've received & I'll post if we need anything more. THANK YOU to all who've given

school supplies ---backpacks have been covered, school has offered the supplies for Andrew, won't know til Monday what Kourtney needs

Prayer needs:

a smooth transition into our home -- a new place with new boundaries & new rules on TV watching, etc, etc, etc.....

smooth transition into new schools

provision of all needs

prayer warriors who are willing to take on one of the children or one of us as their personal "project" & the willingness of those warriors to commit to daily prayers long-term for that particular family member

the salvation & knowledge of Christ as Saviour for the new kiddos, spiritual walk for all of us who will interact with them to be good examples & good representatives of Jesus to them

Good teachers, friends @ school & church for the kids
