I know that it's been a week and a half since we've been home, but I can't leave this off the blog. Steve and I went on a mission trip with our church's group called Master's Builders. This year we went to Folsom, LA to work with Habitat for Humanity. We drove down to Louisiana on Friday night after work, and stayed for a week. We built a whole house in three days! My girlfriends, Jaclyn and Emily, also went. Since we were the only girls, we also had a fun time making supper and baking goodies with Donna for all the guys! It is a very rewarding to go on trips like these to help out people who are less fourtunate and have been through devastating things like hurricaines. It makes you very thankful for what you do have, even if it isn't much. If you ever have a chance to do something like this, it's 100% worth it!
The cooking and working girls!

P.S. Charlie spent the week with both sets of grandparents and did just fine, and I'm pretty sure all the grandparents still love him...:-)
