Great Energy/Great Volunteers

We still have a house full!

All five bedrooms have families in them.  The ladies were alarmed at first when the new family was a mom and dad.  They didn't realize that it wasn't just for single moms as that had been the demographics until our newest family arrived.  Now the poor dad is busy fixing everyone's car and lifting things. Ha!

The kids are antsy with Spring finally arriving.  It is nice for them to be outside.

We have had some HUGE accomplishments.  Families are working their programs, and making really nice progress to change past circumstances and start a new way of doing things.

And two BIG accomplishments for the kids.  Our littlest friend did what every little guy wants to do and learned how to ride a "big-boy bike."  It is about 14 inches off the ground, pink, has training wheels and sparkly streamers on the handlebars, but that didn't matter one bit!  Our five year old friend accomplished the greatest thing a five year old can accomplish...she turned six.  Celebrations all around!

Every dynamic, every change of guests, seasons, and mood presents new challenges and excitement.  Your volunteers are the best things that have ever happened in the lives of some of our guests.  Thank you so much.
