...Eileen, David, and Kai picking our weeds! This winter was especially rainy, and we had a TON of weeds covering our front yard. Kind of an embarrassing amount to be honest. But, with being uber pregnant when we first moved back into our house, and now with a newborn, there was just no way that picking weeds was anywhere near the top of a priority list. And, I know that Eileen and David didn't care about our weeds either, they are the just the type of people who love to give gifts, help people, and build community. The amazing thing about this act of kindness was that it was so intentionally planned. Its not like driving by and seeing a neighbor who left their mailbox open and you just close it. It took deciding ahead of time that they wanted to spend their morning (several hours!) picking our weeds so that we wouldn't have to worry about it or even have it on a to-do list! And, on top of that they brought donuts! Shouldn't we have been the ones offering them donuts? As Ryan said after they left, "That just made my whole day!"...tis true...it really made our day...and now we look forward to getting to "pass it on". Thank You!!
