Car Seats and Strollers

Dear Sisters, 

    I have family coming in the week of July 12-22nd and am in need of a couple of items for the younger family members. Some sisters have so graciously offered items, for which I am so grateful! I am, however, still in need  of 2 more car seats and 2 strollers (or if you have a double stroller, that would work great!) Also- if anyone has a cooler we could borrow as well, I would be so appreciative!! I'd even be willing to bake you a batch of brownies or cookies for whatever sweets your family desires! 

   Thank you so very much. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for all of you!

Lots of love,
Shalayne

P.S. If you do not personally own anything, but know of someone who might be wiling to help- I would be wiling to make calls too. Again, thanks!
