An Influence For Good

Are these perilous times? They are. But there is no need to fear. We can have peace in our hearts and peace in our homes. We can be an influence for good in this world, every one of us.

with slides and water and popsicles and all the fun stuff that kids love on a hot day.

All for this guy’s birthday.

To top it off…

there were even presents! Haha. Can’t beat that.

Happy Birthday kiddo!!

We love you.

 

 

School Days Prep

Sweet Jessica invited any and all of us that could come–to help her set up her classroom before school begins. Most of us have never been part of the “behind the scenes” work that is back to school. 

It was enormous fun doing any of the millions of jobs that needed doing before Meet the Teacher night could happen. I cut out flowers and word posters, folded and stapled booklets, and cut out name cards for the kids desks.

As you’ll see, there really was something even the smallest helpers all the way up to the most ambitious and creative of the group could do. It was lovely to just be part of the experience and to help the task not be quite so huge for her.

Happy Back To School night Jessica!! Here’s to the best school year EVER!!

We sure do love you!

 

 

Our Cute Kids

Here’s our Miss Chomp at work, smiling away behind the eclairs. How can she help it–honestly?

But wait–who have we here? Why it’s our sweet Lily!

And who’s in the back there?! Could that possibly be our Beckham too?

Holy smokes!! No wonder they are all smiling. I can’t even imagine how much fun they must be having–all three of these guys working together!

Beckham even made my sandwich! Yummm.

Service with a smile from the cutest kids I know….

who have been family and friends…

for positively ever.
