Things That Make Me Happy, the "Weekend in Pictures" Version

I set up two shoe cubbies in the foyer of our house. The kids excitedly put their shoes away.
















Baby shower for Amy's co-worker = lots of really good free food for me and the kids.












Promising sign for a church that seeks to grow: at fellowship hour, the kids table is full.

















Bird Sanctuary clean-up just outside our back lot. Kids dive in with gusto, raking leaves and moving branches.









The Bird Sanctuary, long after we had left, looks real good thanks to the tireless efforts of many of our neighbors who put in a lot more hours than we did. Not a bad little natural oasis smack dab in the middle of our urban neighborhood and right outside our back lot!
