Lizzie had a play date and was gone most of the day so Julie and I had a "Mommy and me" date! We headed to a local farm and picked blueberries to our hearts' content. Julie was an excellent little picker and when I told her she could eat some of them, she responded, "No, that's ok. I want to save ALL of them for the muffins!" One on one time with my little girls is invaluable. Whenever it does happen, it is always a treat. It's days like this that make my heart feel so full it might burst. I love both my girls so much and relish these special moments we share together. This is definitely the stuff life is made of.
The little girls and I had a blast at the 4US family fair! All the activities, inflatables, and games were free. Donations were encouraged and it was a GREAT cause! This charity raises money to buy ultrasounds for pregnancy clinics. These machines significantly raise the odds that mothers will choose life over abortion. These are also the locations where abortions are chosen most frequently. I was very excited when a friend told me about her friend, who founded it. Sometimes the Pro Choice and Pro Life debates are so dead end. This cause is actually DOING something about it and in such a positive way. We had a great time and were happy to support the odds of life for those without voices yet. If you want to know more, check out www.4us.org.
