Our Challenge

This blog post at Building the Blocks.... spoke to my heart.

Bye Extended Basic Cable
Hello PB and honey sandwiches for lunch

Bye Muffins at work for breakfast
Hello cereal in a tupperware bowl

Bye old clothes I hoped to someday get back in and don't wear
Hello to consignment stores

Bye diet coke?
Hmmm, don't know if I'm ready for that....

I think I will have the girls will "adopt" someone from their own home country to meet and support through Compassion International.
My girls don't know what it's like to suffer. They are spoiled and need their eyes opened - to be compassionate and understanding. Recently Ginny refused to give away any of her toys to kids that don't have any. sigh.

Amy had this picture on her site.

Might need to ask Amy (at building blocks) for her recipe!

What else can I (we) do? Suggestions?

Juliana in surgery tomorrow

Juliana broke both bones in her forearm on the 25th and is sporting a beautiful green cast. We found out today that she will need to get rods put into the bones because the set didn't take. We will be at the ortho outpatient at 6:00 am for the 8:00am surgery. Great thing to happen right before school starts - 6th grade in middle school.

That skateboard is being thrown away or made into wall art.
