I had my oil changed at my mechanic's this morning, who just happens to be 2 doors down from Reynolds Farm Equipment. That made the wait pretty manageable for my 2 year old.

Strawberry Fields
Today I took OE strawberry picking for the first time. You can see he enjoyed it by the amount of strawberries I was able to pick.
Two of my good friends were able to join us with their daughters. OE has so many girlfriends! Lucky guy!
OE ate so many strawberries that I was a little nervous about him getting sick on the way home, but he's fine.
Don't you just love the red mouths? It was so much fun! I can't wait for raspberry season!Thursday, June 4, 2009
creating a world of HOPE
"Should we let the babies of our country live, or should we let them die?" The answer is "live", right? Well, then, "Who is going to take care of them?"
These unthinkable questions haunt many countries in Africa due to the middle generation being wiped out by HIV/AIDS. In fact, those very questions were asked to Bob Pearson inspiring him to create Horizon International.
This evening we attended a fund raising event for Horizon International in which we heard Pastor Tatenda from Zimbabwe speak about his child care center that provides a home, education, dignity, and a future to orphans. If you followed the news articles about Zimbabwe in the past year, the events that took place were horrifying. Pastor Tatenda saw many of his own people beaten and killed just for helping those in need. Praise God that there is political peace for the time being and that his children are safe. He and his wife are amazing people that are carrying out Jesus' call to serve the poor and needy.
At the end of the program I was one of 2 people that won a Ministry Trip Gift Certificate good for a credit of $200 toward a mission trip to Africa!!! Good thing it is valid through 2010 since I am prego! I am very excited.
Please check out Horizon's website to learn more about how you can help create a world of hope for Africa's orphans.

Enough to break a mama's heart
Poor OE was so sick yesterday - the sickest he's ever been. He lied on the couch the entire day and was too feverish to even sit up. He even refused popsicles and ice cream! Poor guy! Fortunately the fever broke around 3 a.m. and he is feeling much better and perkier today.
