Junior Photographer

While we were at the park the other day, “K” asked if she could take my phone for a few minutes.

She said there were some really pretty things around…

and she wanted to take their pictures.

I said, “sure, just watch the battery,” and nearly forgot all about it.

That is, until I looked at all the photos that I didn’t recognize in the camera roll.

It was so much fun seeing what caught her eye, especially since we were all at the same place…

and other than the people…

I had missed all the rest.

Trust these wise kids to shine a light where the rest of us aren’t even looking.

 

 

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.

Splash Park Birthday

We all gathered again…

at a huge community park…

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!
