Charity Work

On Sunday our church sponsored a Day of Service where 130 of us ventured to various organizations in our local community to do good deeds.  Our team cleaned and painted a room at a local food bank.  We had fun and did good work.

These two are the "BEFORE" pictures



This is the "TEAM BUILDING" picture
 


This is the "FINISHED PRODUCT" picture.  We even painted the floor.
 

Bike riding

Colby is slowly learning to peddle a bike.  He does not yet like to wear a helmet but he will have to adapt if he hopes to venture beyond our driveway.

Firewood

Hi Everyone, Colby writing to you today. My Daddy is soaking in the bath tub. Why? Read below.

While my Grandma was watching movies on her Roku all day, Gigi and Grandi relaxing on a North Carolina beach and my Uncle Greg and Aunt Jenny paddling and/or kayaking with friends my Daddy was HARD (he told me to emphasize hard) at work chopping and stacking firewood. The electric company cut down one of the biggest trees on our property last fall. My Daddy used a chain saw for the first time in his life to cut up most of the tree. That wood stayed in our yard all winter. With the weather breaking into spring my Daddy set about chopping, splitting and stacking. This took two days to complete. See the completed work in the pictures below. My Daddy says this will be the last wood kept if we ever have another tree chopped down.

Easter preparations

Colby is very proud of the play dough cross he made in Sunday school.  


He had a terrific time Sunday afternoon making Easter eggs with Gigi and Grandi.
