we MUST be doing something right

i found this note inside the bag i bring to my sitter's house the other day. brandon, my 6 year old, wrote this. he didn't even tell me about it...i found it. and it was touching to read it. he has such a caring nature. when he saw me watching th news and saw the damage the earthquake did to japan, he wanted to help. and i mean, he wanted to HELP as in flying to japan to help clean up. please click onto the pic if you cannot read his words. ahhhh, sweet isn't he? don't mind that he didn't even spell his own name right.....it's his message he wanted to get across. :) i asked him later in the day when i picked him up from school about how he wanted to help. he asked if i could help him help japan. so i told him we could ask friends & family for spare change to donate. so, some of my coworkers donated some money [thanks]. we have a good start for a nice donation.
makes me feel good that we are raising him right........a couple of cards to share. love using vintage music sheets---hard to part with the buttons (i'm such a hoarder of buttons).

a simple, one dimensional birthday card....easy to send.

TFL! have a great weekend. be on the lookout for birthday blog candy coming up soon! i just have to take a pic of the goodies.
