The Motherload.

When we returned home from work on Friday, we were greeted by this:
Ohhhh...a care package, what could it contain!
 A care package from our dear friends, the Bartlett's.  We were so excited to open it up and see what it had in it...

Rest assured, it was opened by the Australia Post and was inspected by Quarantine.  Luckily, it all got through!
Luckily, we passed quarantine, though with some of the food inside, not
sure how!!
Jeff and I have had to give up some of our favorite American foods because it requires a 45 minute drive and a 500% mark-up on the prices that we are used to paying...

Jeff was smiling ear-to-ear about the boxes of Grape Nuts...he had a HUGE bowl on Saturday morning - too many bowls like that and they will be gone in no time.
I broke into a pack of the Cheez-It's today, and they are as delicious as I remember.  They will be rationed out, otherwise we'll eat a whole box in one sitting.

In addition, we were gifted with some little jars, Mexican treats, hot sauce, and a black bean recipe.

And, the best part...pictures of the kiddos.  They are proudly displayed around the apartment!

Thanks, Bartlett's, what a great surprise, we love all of it!
