What a Blessing

Like the new hat? I was given this surprise gift today from a student I teach, "for all the things you do."

Wow, talk about making my day!

That young man brought a smile to my face and really blessed me!

Of course, it's not so much about the gift, but the heart of the one who gave it. That's what made it so special.

Back Together

The oldest four of our kids were split up to both sets of grandparents in NY while Liz, our youngest son Caleb, and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in the warm sun of Florida (Caleb was our chaperone ;-)

We were all back together last night after being apart for these few days; it was so good to see each of our children. With Mom and Dad being back, there of course were some surprises to be passed out from the trip - smiles and gifts shown above.
