Knit a Square
A teacher in my building share with me a great opportunity to give to others! History: She has headed up a knitting club at school in the past, and I have had the pleasure of working with her in this endeavor. Present: She found this organization that accepts 8 inch crocheted or knitted squares. They then ship the donated squares to Africa where another group of volunteers makes them into blankets and garments for children with HIV, AIDS or are disabled orphans. What a blessing! Do you Crochet? Knit? Join us! You may use any scrap yarn you have laying around or buy new yarn. Here's the website. Check it out! I know what I will be doing!

Peanut gets a ride
Oh, the life of a dog! Nardos had Pet day at her Preschool today. Peanut went along. Then at home she has taken to putting him in her dolly stroller and pushing him around the house. He's soooo tolerant! What a good dog!
Levi and the broken leg...
Ok - so I tend to tell the kids "sorry you got hurt, I'm sure you'll be fine". I mean, you figure it out, if we went to a doctor every time a kid got hurt, we would practically live at the doctor's office. So, here goes my Mom of the year story --
Last July, yes, I said LAST JULY, Levi slid into second base and said it hurt his leg. It didn't swell, didn't get bruised, so we told him "I'm sure you'll be fine". Every 6 weeks or so, he would say, "my foot hurts". But that was it. He was running on it, playing feverishly and so we let it go. Then, this Spring, I saw him running through the yard and he was turning his foot in - pretty bad. I made the appointment, Bob took him to the orthopedic doctor and sure enough, he broke - or chipped - the leg bone. He has a (very stinky) cast for three weeks and then he "should be fine". Just wish I had done this last summer! Live and learn!
His teacher has even be so kind as to push him in a rolling chair when his leg gets tired of walking! So nice!

Beti gets Baptized!
After being here only a few months, Beti started saying she wanted to be Baptized. We were careful in talking to her about the details and making sure she truly understood what she was asking. So this past March, Bob had the honor of Baptizing Beti. She was excited and nervous, Bob and I were emotional wrecks! Enjoy the pictures.
Nardos was just cheesy!
