May The Journey Continue

 

This lovely letter arrived for Emma today, and with it a sweet offer of a new pen pal. No one will ever replace her great-grandpa but my guess is that her great-aunt Gail may come very close! I am excited to see all the stories that the next part of the journey contains! xo 

Holiday Show Day

 

The last time they were on this stage for the holiday show was January 2020. Covid was barely in our vocabulary back then and masks certainly were not part of their costumes, but here we are two years later back on the stage and better than ever! Well done, girls! We are so proud of how beautifully you danced! xo 

Snow Day!

 

Thank you, Mother Nature, for finally sending us some snow! xo

The Work Of Christmas Begins

 

When the carols have been stilled,
When the star topped tree is taken down,
When family and friends have gone home,
When we are back to our schedules,

The work of Christmas begins!

To welcome the refugee,
To heal a broken planet,
To feed the hungry,
To build bridges of trust,
Not walls of fear,
To share our gifts,
To seek justice and peace for all people,
To bring Christ's light to the world.
-Michael Dougherty

Today At Work

 

My co-worker is great at keeping me company but not so good at allowing me to access the files I need! xo 

At Their Winter Home

 

First day at their winter happy place and four hours added to their 1,000 Hours Outside tracker! xo
