School Is Almost Out!

May 16, 2012

School is almost out!!! Yep...Darby took her jump rope, monopoly game and her lunch box to school today... that sounds like a day of fun to me! Tomorrow is field day and a party... I could definitely learn something under those circumstances, could you?

In all seriousness, I am thankful for a fantastic year and the best teachers EVER!!!

With school coming to a close that means summer is here and Memorial Day is just around the corner. Aside from great BBQ and outdoor parties we also want to remember our soldiers - past and present.

Dana just returned from N.Y. this morning... and yesterday, for the first time the family visited the Memorial landmark for those who served in Vietnam from his town. What made this so special was his Dad, Edwin J. Cappillino was the tour guide. If you look closely you should see his Dad's name in small print. Edwin (Red is what we call him) served our country during Vietnam (he doesn't talk much about that time) but we, his family are so thankful and are very proud of him!!! We salute you Edwin J Cappillino (better known as Red, Dad and Papa)!!!!

Tina, is pointing to the fine print... So cute!!!

Be sure to say thank you to all the soldiers you see around you - on a plane, at the grocery store, wherever...our freedom is enjoyed by those who have and continue to serve our country... a polite word of gratitude would be a tremendous blessing to each one!!

Have a very safe weekend and enjoy these last few days before the kids are home ALL DAY!!

blessings, leigh

Shelley Says...

May 14, 2012

Well, I had a really cute post planned about our weekend and Mother's Day, but God just changed my mind. My friend Keely just got back from a trip to Tanzania with Compassion. She went as the photographer with a group of well known bloggers, to show them first hand how the child sponsorship program works, and more importantly- how many kids still need us to sponsor them. Keely sent me a link to a post written on the trip by a 38 year old mom of 3 boys- her blog is call "The Nester."

I turned on my computer a few minutes ago to write my Monday blog about how much fun we had on the Huckabee show in NYC Saturday,

And to tell you about how perfectly wonderful and sweet my Mother's Day gift from Caroline was…

But then I remembered that link Keely sent me, so I clicked on to read…

I was crying within about 30 seconds, and maybe it's because I know how it feels to actually meet the child you are sponsoring- but, I was very stricken that I was supposed to share this post with you.

Even if you already sponsor a child, or care NOTHING about getting involved- please read this. It will make you feel something. And that's a good thing. Especially on a Monday. And ESPECIALLY if you have a teenage boy.

(Read it HERE.)

Have a great week my friends,

Shelley

PS Let me know in the comments if you read the post. We are blogging numbskulls, and apparently it's all the rage to end "with a question" -so people will comment?! So how's this…

Leigh's Favorite Songs

May 11, 2012

I love all types of music and my top ten list will change over time. But in this particular season of my life, these are some of my favorites!

Each one simulates something spiritual with in me. Whether up tempo or ballad these tunes can move me to tears. The common denominator through out is the message of hope, redemption and a prayer of thanks giving.

I never realized till now that each one is truly connected to the next because of those very specific characteristic traits. Isn't that amazing?

I hope you will enjoy my musical journal!!
Blessings, Leigh

1. Revelation Song - Phillips Craig and Dean
2. How Deep The Father's Love for Us - Phillips, Craig and Dean
3. Truly - Lionel Richie
4. Mosaic - Ricky Skaggs ( the whole record is truly one song because each song connects to the next and you can't leave one out) - A true piece of melodic art!!
5. Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
6. Will You Be There - Michael Jackson
7. Dierks Bentley - Home
8. Whitney Houston - I Love the Lord
9. Lady Antabellum - Hello World
10. Vince Gill - Go Rest High
