My little man LOVES the phone. He rides Lightening McQueen and talks on the phone, he hides the phone in McQueen, and boy does he have a lot to say! Just listen: And he likes to “read” as well: I think I pick the books up and reshelf them daily! And last night, we got…

Keith ran his first 5K of the season this year. Last Saturday, RivRunners, our running group at Riverview church, hosted a 5K to benefit the “Little Rays of Light” orphanage in Monterrey, MX. We raised $1500 (yahoo!) and had 90 participants. This far exceeded the expectations for the event, and showed us yet again that…
