This Post Uganda Life

Here is what a trip like Uganda will do to a person:

Parker and I went to Michael's today to pick up some craft supplies.  On our way in the door, there were flip flops in the clearance bin.  For $.25!!!  I can no longer walk past those without thinking of my sweet friends in Africa, many of whom have NO shoes.  So, what did Parker and I do???

Why, we took three trips -- arms loaded -- to the cash register and purchased 50 pairs of shoes for our "African friends" (as Parker says!). 

We have lots of friends headed to Africa in the coming months, so we'll get these over there soon!

CHOC Visit

Our sweet little buddy had to spend a few nights at the Children's Hospital of Orange County last week.  He was SUCH a trooper, and we were so thankful the doctors were able to diagnose a kidney infection and give him the right antibiotic to heal him up! 

He was a favorite on the hall, and with a face like this, who could blame those nurses?!?

 

80s Concert

Last Friday, we had a fun time reliving the 80s with a concert in the park by our house.  We took a picnic and some dear friends, and danced and played!

1st Grade

BEFORE

Today was the first day of first grade! Turner has a great teacher, Mrs. Prouty, and a class of 21 children. She loved every minute of it!!!

 

It was quite a different (and much better) feeling dropping her off this year than last!  We are glad to be returning students and not fresh off the plane from Georgia! :)
