Yet another cute story

This story is from a couple days ago, but I thought it was really cute and worth sharing.
We used to have bunk beds in JoAnn's room along with a crib, which if we had normal sized rooms would not be a big deal at all. However, her room is pretty small, so with the bunk beds and the crib we only had about a two foot aisle that ran down the middle of her room. Over the weekend we got rid of the bunk beds and now there is a lot more space and JoAnn loves playing with all of the toys we moved from the living room to her room. So the other day Daniel and I were talking and she was playing in her room by herself for a while. A couple minutes after she came back in where we were Daniel looked at me and asked, "Did you put that on her?" I just stared at him blankly trying to figure out what he was talking about. Then I looked down. She had one of her Crocs on and it was on the wrong foot. Somehow, she must have found it and managed to put it on herself.


She was so excited about the fuss that Daniel and I were making over the fact she put her own shoe on that it took several attempts to get a picture where you could see her foot. I had to use the fan to distract her long enough to snap a picture.

This week we also started doing what Daniel refers to as the "Lunch Club" at the Arthur Center. Every weekday he is having someone cook up a big batch of food and if you need it, you can come eat. (I refer to it as a soup kitchen.) JoAnn and I went over on Monday which was the first day and I must admit it was a little surprising that the first 45 minutes or so of serving food we only saw about 15-20 people. I wasn't really discouraged, but more surprised. It usually seems like we have a lot more than that show up when we do other things and serve food. Then about an hour after we got home, Daniel got a text from our pastor saying that we ending up feeding 82 people. I guess after we left a bunch of kids came in and ate. I still am not sure how the amount of food we made fed that many people.

Yesterday, I was talking to one our friends who has a feeding program for kids in another area of town and since they got the food from the container, they decided to start a secondf eeding program in a village that is next to the one they work in now. I guess on the first day somewhere in the ballpark of 180 kids showed up wanting food. They weren't able to serve everyone that came, but what a blessing to be part of a program that is so needed. I think the craziest part about that feeding program is the lady they are getting to cook the food cooks over a fire. Can you imagine cooking for 180 kids over a fire pit?!
