Fun With Friends

The other night, we went to the Scholastic Book Warehouse Sale on Shelbyville Road.  Besides spending $50 on $120 worth of books, we got to spend time with Jen and Oliver.  Oliver is one of Anderson's favorite people and it shows in this picture of him trying to hold Oliver's hand.  Oliver is also a lover and holds Anderson's hand and plays footsie!  I love seeing them interact together and wonder what they must be thinking about their crazy parents.

I would like to point out that Richard was a champ holding both of these boys at a time.  He was holding Anderson and Oliver ran up to him and held his leg wanting to be picked up.  So, he picked him up and let the boys play on him as though he were a jungle gym.  I'm so lucky!

A couple nights after that, we went to the old Beards building in Crestwood and worked to sort food for the food baskets for the needy in Oldham County.  The fifth grade students of Goshen Elementary were invited and Anderson had a blast with all the attention they gave him.  He also kept eyeing the cans and felt they really needed to be in his mouth.  I am pretty sure he would have tested out each of them had we given him the opportunity.  Henry was also kind enough to stop sorting for a moment in order to get a photo with APP!

I believe this will be a family tradition of ours.  I want so badly for Anderson to have everything and live a wonderful life, but I also firmly believe that he should know what it means to give.  We may not have a whole mound of money to give, but we do have time and we can donate that to make a difference.
