Let me tell you about my sister in law, Denise. Pete's sister is amazing. In high school she was a star soccer player, drum major, and genius. She got her UG in bio and her masters degree in record time (more evidence of her genius). Then she proceeded to have four kids and commit every ounce of her being to providing them rich life experiences and fun. Her oldest has special needs, and she copes with his challenges with grace and perseverance. She has her hands full but she is the first one to always think of others. It is not unusual for her house to have several more kids in it, as she is helping out a friend. Sometimes we think we are too busy and tired to help out another, but she is proof that we always have the ability to do something for someone else. I'm so glad to live in the same town as her, so we can have our kids grow up together. We don't know how long this will last, but we will just keep enjoying it. She is also my partner in crime in our Kids Sing venture and I love working with her. What a special person she is.
So one of her friends hosted a birthday lunch for her and she invited us. So sweet. They had an amazing backyard. Parker loved the trampoline and a skateboard ramp that all the kids were sliding down.
awww, you're so sweet. Thanks for watching the kids last night so we could go out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a small world! I know Paula & her family. Her husband Jake taught me & my siblings in High School and they were in our ward for awhile in Escondido! :)
