{p,h,f,r} + theme thursday

It's so....neat and great and wonderful, this community that God plopped us into.  Because there's no good reason we're here, really.  You know?  There was no job or friends and my family is a solid 2 hour drive from here.  But there has never been even a moment of doubt that this is where we are meant to be right now.  Even through struggles and uncertainty, the love and support of the friends we made so easily here has always smoothed the edges of our frustration.

Now our community has become our children's community.  Evidence: our big girls are now part of a new totally-kid-conceived project called The St. Martha's Club, which offers eight trustworthy young ladies to do chores or clean up after your party or baby sit your kids or groom your horse (oh yes.  Martyrs they are.) for a mere $5 per hour per person.  No job too small!

IT IS THE CUTEST.  We moms are trying to stay out of it aside from the driving of the bodies around.  Maybe they'll never get a single job but that's okay.  The organization and the brainstorming are all part of the awesome.  Oh, and they're putting on a food bank fundraising play: Admission = 1 can or box of nonperishable food to be donated.  Best.

Why am I telling you all this? Because today they had their first official planning meeting, which consisted of eating chocolate fudge and swimming.  Best.  Did I mention best?  Our friends are the best.

Someday he'll get mad at me for calling him pretty, but maybe he'll be a good little teenager and avoid reading anything related to his mother, which means the blog is safe forevah.  And just look at those eyelashes!

Only a big sister can get him smiling in the vat of cold, splashy water of drippiness...
