Amelia has spent the last few weeks volunteering with an organization that helps the young students who need it most in our community. I'm not sure who has gained more from the experience. The kids are getting to learn a little, play in a safe environment, and in some cases get the attention or even nutrition they don't always have the luxury of at home... and Amelia is having a blast and having her heart melted by sweet notes like this ....

Mop
Luckily, thanks to the heat of the summer, Everett agreed to get his wig trimmed. He looks like a different human...or maybe he finally just looks like a human....

Worker
Amelia has somehow gotten her dream side hustle - dogsitting for a neighbor. She's done it a dozen or so times now and occasionally I go with her. She doesn't know it, but it is obvious to me as I watch her hand feed one pup while having a conversation with the other, that there are a lot of people in her future - friends, boyfriends, employers, employees, children, grandchildren, etc. - that are going to be extremely, extremely lucky to have her in their lives...and she'll never require anything from them in return.

Receipts pt. 2
One of our favorite parts of our week together was doing the animal experiences at a nearby zoo. We've been to petting zoos and regular zoos before....but this was the first time we ever got to hold a baby spider-monkey or have a lemur ride around on our heads...

Spring Broke
Last week was Spring Break for Meggan and the kids. Since I didn't want them to have all the fun, I took the week off as well. This week included visiting friends, staying in hotels, riding go karts, playing with monkeys and lemurs, an NBA game, and a girls' trip to Italy. I won't say it was a restful week, but it was a great one. I'll post pictures of week soon.
