Service Project in Ecuador

As many of you know, I was "on vacation" last week. Actually, I was in Quito Ecuador with my 17 year old daughter working on a service project. It was a great experience for both of us. We painted murals to help beautify a school for indigenous children whose mothers work in the nearby outdoor market. This facility works to keep these kids off the streets and all the children were really sweet. I am not an artist, but my daughter is very creative and so this project was perfect for her. My job was to paint within the lines she drew. I posted some before and after pictures of our work at the bottom of the the blog.

Congratulations to Linzie

Congratulations to Linzie and her husband Neil on their new baby Wesley. We are hoping that since Wesley came early, Linzie can come back from maternity leave early :)
