A Diamond in the Rough

We took the kids last night to see "The Blind Side". A great movie that moves the heart and reminds us all the power of a little loving. That great things can come, especially from those still in there youth, that have simply just not had the opportunity or security to thrive. I love the human heart and how it can compel people to take a chance, see a need and do what they can themselves to fill it! I wonder how many diamonds in the rough are still waiting to be discovered.

This movie, while PG-13, was suitable for our kids at 9 and almost 11. A few language moments and a few statements that were over their heads -but a movie worth the exposure for youths who have much. Karly and Kyle gained much hearing the story and now both hope to read the book.

Did You Know 2.0

Saw this recently at a technology session for our school district. Thought you'd find it facinating as well. Also facinating.....already this is outdated as well.

Orange and Black Day

Here's some pics from the kids Orange and Black Day at school. They are not allowed to wear costumes, but they do embrace some harvest style fun and traditions. Karly's class did Fall crossword puzzles and had carmel apples and goodies. Kyle's class did Pumpkin math (weighing and measuring their own individual pumpkin-creating a chart) and enjoyed some extra recess and cupcakes.




I am blessed to be able to be there and spend some time watching the fun!
