Summer Opportunities

One of my friends at church had the great idea last year to start a cutting garden for the church. So she put in a great big flower garden of perennials and voila! they are providing us with lovely seasonal flowers for our side altars at church.







So last year I asked my friend if there was any way that Izzy could help with the garden. I thought this might be a good niche for Izzy to fill because she loves flowers and she is also very artistic. My friend called about a month ago and gave Izzy the job of making sure the vases in on the side altars have fresh flowers in them every week. Izzy LOVES this job. It makes her feel responsible and she has a lot of fun doing it too. We have talked about having our own cutting garden at home next year and I think we're going to go for it!





Calvin and Noah ran a 5K this morning for the Right to Life Group in our area. They were awesome.









Noah beat Calvin by two minutes or so. There was a hill and Noah got the lead. I have been having Noah run a course that is actually one big hill in preparation for this race - consequently it was a piece of cake for him!










Sometimes I miss Gabe's hair. One more video to show how long it was! He really whips it around starting at about 2:33!
