Yesterday Michael, Mrs. Rachel, and I went up to the Lower Elementary to have lunch with Ashton and Cate. When we walked into the cafeteria their eyes lit up and big, big smiles came on their faces. We sat down and were mini-celebrities to the kids. They all wanted to tell us something and have our attention. It was such a great and easy way to show them that we cared.
Today I had my first experience of checking a kid out of school early. Jonathan had an eye doctor appointment and so he was able to leave school 20 minutes early on a Friday but by the smile on his face you would've thought he was able to miss the whole day. The smile of a kid is a beautiful sight. Jonathan is in need of glasses and will have to wear them all the time. We're slowly getting everyone into the doctor, eye doctor, and dentist for check-ups and to see if anything needs corrected.
After the doctor's we went out shopping to buy Travis some birthday gifts. He turns 17 tomorrow and the younger ones are so excited for his "party". I'll make sure to take pictures and post tomorrow.
