Our church hosted its third annual "Feed Event" this weekend. Actually, it's still going on for another day. We cancel services for the entire weekend and do nothing but pack meals for starving children around the world. Every year we've been challenged to invite friends/family members outside of the church to participate with us. However, having moved to the Twin Cities for a job at the church, not having any family living closer than 10 hours away, and with both of us working either at the church or a Christian school just down the road, we've had a difficult time finding anyone to invite. This year however, I've had a classroom full of second graders requesting a field trip to Feed My Starving Children all year, so I figured this was the perfect solution. This morning I had the opportunity to pack meals with 6 of my students along with their accompanying parents and siblings. We had a very fun time serving together, but more than that, I hope and pray that it was a meaninful experience for each of them. Here are a few pictures from our morning...
Addison's hair is getting long enough that it really needs to get pulled back to keep it out of her face. Sometimes she'll let me put it in pigtails. When I do, it's like she instantly ages another year. She looks so much older and more kid-like than baby. And boy, is this a fun age. As long as the three molars that she's cutting don't give her too much trouble, she is just a barrel of laughs and entertainment!
Yes, that's our daughter with her finger up her nose. 
Every morning this week when Addison has woken up, I've gone in and gotten her out of her crib, and before a fresh diaper or anything, she wants to read books. She points to her book bin and says "Oooh!" like it's something she just happened to notice. It is absolutely the most precious thing to see her climb up into her little chair and look at a book. The teacher in me is so proud of her!
