Peter Fish Again

***I started writing this post on March 14 and am finally able to post it since we finally connected for dinner.***

Our Peter Fish has been returned to church with all the money the boys earned and contributed to it. We enjoyed reading the daily devotionals and getting ideas of how to add money to the bank (i.e. counting how many types of fruits and vegetables we have in the house and contributing a dime for each type--Wow! I was surprised at how many varieties we had!). One of the daily challenges was to invite a leader or two from the church who helps us think of others. We were then supposed to give them money to put in their bank.

We gave the boys some ideas of people they could invite for dinner. They decided to invite Aunt Nita and Aunt Pat for dinner. (Pat is an elder in our church, and Anita helped us out by watching the boys once a week so we could join a life group together last fall.) We proceeded to invite them to dinner on March 16. The day they were supposed to come, Caleb woke up with a fever so we postponed until the following week. We had to postpone again because we were with family for Paul's grandpa's funeral. We finally had them over for dinner last week--April 28. It was such a gift to have them over and watch the boys interact with them both before and during dinner. (They even came bearing treats and fun things for the boys.)

Proof that we had dinner together

The boys are still talking about it! This is just another reminder of what a blessing a wonderful church family is to us! Also, since he is turning six this week, I thought it would be fun to see a pix of Isaac during our World Hunger Campaign when he was about six months old.
