Bloggers Block

It's been days, but we are still alive. We really just havent been doing anything cool enough to blog about:)

But I do want to mention this (just click it). One of my favorite bloggers is in Kenya right now to raise awareness and support. I know, I know, dont quit reading yet. The post from today is eye opening, convicting, and downright gut wrenching. You should definitely read it. Right now Im pondering what my family could give up in order to support a compassion child (It's only $38 a month!). Im pretty disgusted with myself that just 2 days ago I was down and out about not being able to buy some new spring clothes or bedding for our freshly painted master bedroom. Honestly Emily. I really need to get a grip and open my eyes to the rest of the world. So, this weekend, (with Joel's help) Im going to figure out something we can give up. I guess I didnt realize until reading the above blog how much sponsorship really does help a family in Kenya. So Im not sure what it will be-cable tv, clothes, or gourmet meals. But it will be something. Maybe you would like to do the same? Click here to view the profiles of some children in Kenya that need our help. It breaks my heart. To look at the pictures and think each child is somebody's baby boy, somebody's daughter, somebody's reason for getting up every morning. They need our help.

On a completely different note we have been hanging out with family. And since we dont get to do this on a day to day basis we are soaking it up. Today we plan on heading to Boulder to enjoy the sunshine and hippies. I love hippies. Did I mention I want to be one? I also love spending time with sisters and brothers. Family is one of my favorite things.



This weekend. Sarah and Caleb. Jackson is obsessed with having 2 extra play partners around. There is a lot of squealing going on in our house right now. And I love it.
Last weekend. A few hours spend with Blake before he headed off to ski.

  1. Love the pictures of course but was just on her blog (I follow her too) before coming to your blog and then pretty much read the same thing on your blog that she wrote. I looked at the pictures last night and then clicked off of them. This morning I was sharing that story with a friend. Maybe it's time for me to not turn away anymore too....
