Today is my mom's birthday!  I'll share pictures from our "party" later this week. But, for now, I wanted to share this video of Laura singing Happy Birthday to Nana. (PS. After the video it recommends several other videos for you to watch....I posted the ones of Sophie & Greta but not the other ones!) 

Sophie

It has been a while since I gave you an update on Sophie.  She is doing great!  Here are a couple of pictures I took of her yesterday.  She was sitting behind my dad's shed. 

Here she is cleaning her paw:

And here's "smiley" again:

Sophie is just a big ball of happy wherever she goes....

Love Week 2012

I can't believe that another year has passed and it is already Love Week 2012.  Love Week is an initiative that my church takes on to give at least 50,000 hours of community service in our city.  There are over 350 opporutnities to serve this week that include everything from serving in a nursing home, to ministering to sick children and helping the homeless.  Yesterday alone, there were 38 different options to sign up for.  My friend Deanna (you've met her here!) served at Crisis Assistance Ministry with her small group while my group served at a different ministry for those in need.  We cleaned bathrooms, picked up trash and did a little bit of landscaping.

Here are some of the members of my group: 

Even though there were over 38 different options to serve yesterday, we had 46 people at our location. Here are some photos from some of the other projects:
