Thank you Mom and Dad for all the wonderful birthday gifts! We had a wonderful time last week. The girls can't wait for you to stay again! :)

Round and Round he goes

Klumb Salon

The girls love doing each other's hair in the morning! This particular morning they were in the bathroom for 1/2 hour, so I had to check on them and took a quick pic!

In early summer the girls were looking through my parenting magazines while we were waiting for Dad to skydive and Ellie stopped on the SmileTrain ad (a page I turn as quickly as I can because it breaks my heart to look at it), she started asking questions and then asked why "we" don't help a child. So we started collecting loose change from our wallets, piggy banks and family. Every "lucky" penny we found in parking lots and on the street we saved. Our goal was to cover a full surgery by the end of summer and we are happy to say we reached our goal. There are millions of children in developing countries that are in desperate need of cleft lip and palate surgery. The minimum cost in the US is $5,000 but SmileTrain cost is just $250. Please check this charity's website out.
