Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Bike Day for Chloe

Today was Bike Day at pre-Kindergarten.  Look close and you will see our Beanarina.

Look at that big smile when she first spotted us!

She stayed on the bike course in their big circle through the drop off lanes, but pedaled to us as fast as she could!

We were picking her up to go to the elementary school for a scheduled tour.  Chloe couldn't wait to put her bike away and go on the tour of the school (even though she had just gone on a field trip to the elementary school with her class a week ago).

She was moving quickly ahead of us because she couldn't wait to go on the tour!

But she stopped and waited before crossing the street.  She wanted to be safe.  And waited patiently and gave genuine smiles for the camera before we crossed.  When did my baby get so big?  She's almost a Kindergartner!

But when we got inside, we found out we were two hours late.  I goofed.  I had written it down correctly on the calendar at home.  I just didn't remember it correctly or double check that morning.  Sigh.  Chloe was disappointed that she didn't get to tour the school again, but agreed it was nice to get to go on a mini-field trip with Mom and Dad in the middle of the school day.  And she got to jump right back into the middle of Bike Day at school.  She was pedaling fast on her bike when we drove off to go back to work.
