Since school has started, the two little ones and myself, drive downtown to work at a daycare for inner city kids. It is called Fortress "Building Blocks" and we love it! It was established by the church that meets in the inner city area and is to help give the kids there a little head start before they go to pre-k or kindergarten. It's a Monday/Wednesday program right now and there are 13 little ones enrolled for our first year of operation. Completely free for these sweet kids! We only go on Mondays and then we have other friends that volunteer with the program on Wednesdays. Parker LOVES going to Fortress and being with his friends there. The program is staffed by mostly women from our church and a few gals that worship with the Fortress church there on Sundays. It is such a blessing to be with these cute little ones on Mondays and see how much that they are learning in such a short amount of time. I'm also so thankful that they let me bring Parker and Susie with me...I think they get as much or more out of it than I do, sometimes! We do love Fortress Mondays!
Every night Parker prays, "Dear God, Thank you for my family, Thank you for my Jesus, Thank you for my friend Jo Jo, my friend Ty Ty, my friend Owen and my friend Kendall. Help me to have sweet dreams. In Jesus name, AAAAMMMEN!" Well, the picture above is with Parker and his buddy JoJo that he loves so dearly. They are little stinkers at Building Blocks and you would never guess that they are a year apart because they are the same size!
