A Blessing For Trent

Trent is very excited! This morning the grocery store called and said that no one claimed the money he found. Sometime today we will be able to pick it up. Isn't it wonderful how God blesses when you choose to do right?

Grocery Store Field Trip

Today for school I took the kids on a grocery store field trip. We learned about comparing products, impulse buying and food placement. Amber, Trent and Trey seemed to have fun, especially when they got to pick out candy for doing so well!
We are also very proud of Trent. While walking through the aisles he found $11 laying on the ground. He showed it to me and asked if we could take it to one of the workers, in case someone came looking for it. We brought the money to costumer services and the lady there told us that if no one came for the money she would call us and let Trent keep the money. Trent had no idea that would happen but he still did what was right. We are so proud of him!

More Volunteers Please!

We have had so many wonderful people help with the finical end of the 2009 Knit Together with Love scarf project. Thank you all so very much! Your gifts are going to be such a blessing!
We have had quite a few people offer to help us knit scarves as well. Thank you so much everyone who has committed to do that. But we are still looking for more volunteers. If you could help us reach our goal of 50 scarves sent to Romania I would greatly appreciate it. Any number of scarves would be a huge help!
For more information about the project please click the link at the top of this page. There I have the full story and the scarf requirements.
Thank you everyone!

Happy Birthday Amber!

Yesterday we celebrated Amber's 12th birthday. This was the first time Grandma and Grandpa Schnarr were able to host one of our birthday parties.

Grandma made a wonderful turkey dinner for us (our family, Babum and Nanny). She put out her beautiful China plates and glasses for us to use. Amber loved the meal and the time with family.

For her cake I made her a banjo the same size as the one she plays. She really liked that.

For her birthday she got candy (perfect for Amber), a horse blanket, and the American Girl Doll, Kaya, she had been wanting. She was very excited!
