   India already has a boyfriend, she met him at HESFES (the Home Ed camp where   
   the photos were taken). We had to drive her 4 hours away the other weekend   
   so she could meet up with him *L* Luckily we're friends with his parents, so   
   we stayed overnight in their Winnebago on the drive.

   enjoying it?

   That was sweet of you all :o) We sold loads but gave away more...India's   
   Brownie Pack have managed to do a few raffles using beanies as prizes now.   
   Plus there were all those that we donated to India's school for their raffle   
   when she was there. It's good to be able to give things away that children   
   will really enjoy :o)
