Our Treasure
"We can only by said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." Thornton Wilder
I saw this quote today and thought it was a perfect remembrance on Solomon's 3rd birthday. Solomon's presence in our family has indeed made us more alive in many ways. We're grateful for this opportunity to remember the many ways he touches us and our family and friends. 
You're welcome to join us in celebrating the 18 special days of his life with daily acts of kindness. Feel free to comment on your experiences, we love to read them. We hope you will also be more "conscious of your treasures" through this experience.

It only took me a moment but it was information and pictures that were irreplaceable to her.
It made my day to have been able to help her.
Watched a friend's children for her so she could serve in her RS Calling.

I didn't know if I would get to do anything, since we had a family vacation planned. But I'm glad I had service on my mind, because one day we had lunch next to a woman and her handicapped son. We were able to render some service and we all enjoyed our meal.
Thanks for celebrating Solomon in such a special way!
Took some friends to the airport.
