Pizza Anyone?

This year Esther has joined The American Heritage Girls. AHG is a Christian based girl scouting program. They're actually affiliated with Boy Scouts of America. For their first fundraiser this year they are selling Hungry Howie's coupons that look like this. They really are an awesome deal - just the free pizza coupon at the bottom makes it worth the $10 you pay. So if you like pizza, and want to support the American Heritage Girls, you know who to contact.

A Message from Esther

After math today Esther wanted to keep playing with the pattern blocks. She put together this and asked if she could take a picture of it herself and post it on the blog so her grandparents could see. From left to right this is Papa, Nana, Grammy, and Grandpa.

A Little Thing I Don't Want to Forget

Today was beautiful. The weather was warm, but with the crispness of autumn. The kids and I went outside to rake leaves. I raked up big piles. Esther and William scooped the piles up in snow shovels and pushed them into the street for the sweepers to pick up, racing and smiling, having a great time. Alex watched happily from his seat in the stroller. When we got close to the door we could smell the cornbread Esther made (with just a little help) baking in the oven. Right when we were finishing up, Cameron arrived from his walk home from the hospital, making our family complete. I love those moments in life that you can’t help but stop to savor.

hmmm

We always know something interesting is happening when the kids play quietly in their rooms.
