This is the picture that I mentioned in the blog post about the hailstorm in Kenya. This is little Cara out in a snowstorm in Houston, Texas. Please note her “mittens,” which are really socks!

Cara Austin and Margaret Becker meet! This was a cool moment, it was fun to see Cara meet one of her greatest musical influences, and Margaret Becker was gracious and friendly. Cara did not really want me to take a photo, but I followed her and forced her into the picture. (I guess I didn’t really have to force too hard, honestly.) My favorite part of the moment was that MB complimented Cara’s outfit and told her that she looked “too cool to stand next to her.” Funny.

More pictures to come later this week!

These are the bags that Cara brought with her on the trip. The big one is STUFFED with all the clothes that people donated for the children of Cameroon. (THANKS!!)

I covered up the addresses in this one, but this is what the envelope looks like.

This will be the first thing that people see when they open the package. I’ll post pictures of the final product all assembled next week.
