All I need
Has it really been three months since we’ve posted here? Wow. I guess time flies when you’re raising a baby. So, what’s happened since she learned how to use her jumper in the last video?
- Teeth? Check
- Solid food? Check
- Pulling herself up to standing? Check
- Crawling? Check
- Pat-a-Cake? Check. Complete with throwing it in the pan? Check
But something else is about to happen. I’m about to turn 30. As the date nears, my family have been asking what I want. What sort of material good will make me happy? Realistically, that list is really long. But before I answer with that really expensive fishing trip or new hiking boots, I generally pause and realize:
I have everything I need.
I have a great wife, a great job, a great daughter and a great life in general. So, what I want is to help other people have a great life.
I am throwing a party this weekend, June 11 at Big Al’s Brewing, which is just south of Seattle and I want you all to join me. But I don’t want you to show up empty handed. I’ve talked it over with Kelci and run the idea by a few other people and have decided that I want to collect baby supplies and goods for a local women’s shelter. Specifically, we’re looking for:
- Formula
- Diapers/wipes (Size 4, 5 or 6 diapers)
- New or next-to-new toys
- New or next-to-new clothes
I can’t offer anything in reply, other than a hug and a thank you, but realize that the gear you’re donating will make the beer taste better, the hugs feel better and the smiles a bit brighter. So, RSVP for the party now and we look forward to seeing you!
And, since this is a blog dedicated to our adventures with our amazing daughter, here’s a few from the last couple of months:
