Chores and Corvettes

Today is the day Little Man comes home!!! There a few chicks in this house that are VERY ready to see him! ;) Daddy seems to be handling his absence much better than we are.

Yesterday Princess helped her Daddy mow the yard with his new "toy". A co-worker had this for sale and is being very generous on the price so we are thrilled to be able use it instead of our half broken push mower we've been using for years. It should really help with Jerod's back problems as well. A win-win!

Then, just down the street our cute little neighbors were hosting a lemonade stand that benefited childhood cancer. Princess was quickly recruited to help out when it got busy. Little Noah and Natalie raised $400 to send to this very worthy cause. Very cool!! Another reason I love our neighborhood. Our neighbors are the best!! We even got to meet some new neighbors and they are going to fit in very well.

At one point, the local corvette club showed up to buy lemonade. There were around 20 corvettes that came and after they had been refreshed, they offered rides to the kids in these beautiful automobiles. Princess got to ride in a yellow convertible. She said the driver went really fast but that she was never scared. I had no doubts. Kinda. ;) I have a feeling he never left the neighborhood so "really fast" is a matter of perspective. Plus, they were only gone for about 3 minutes. It was sweet for him to even offer because it made her day!

And lastly, because she had heard how anxious I was becoming from not hearing from Little Man, our children's minister sent me this picture of him during his quiet time. So sweet!! I love that he is getting this opportunity.

Hope you're having a great Monday!
