We had an especially rough night in our home last night. Grant came home from a play date, and parkour, only to find out that he had to finish typing a story and complete a poster board assignment that was due the next day. I was super stressed out thinking we would be up for hours trying to get all the stuff done. The girls could see and feel my stress and thankfully, they jumped into action to do anything they could to help. Loren helped Grant type his story while I printed pictures on-line for the poster board. Morgan sat by me giving me all sorts of encouragement and hugs. Once Grant's story was done being typed, Aunt Ellen helped him proofread and fix any grammatical or punctuation errors. I continued to work on the poster with Grant's input. I cut letters on the silhouette and got the pictures all cut out - and in the meantime, got a little education about The Henry Knox Trail and the Fort Ticonderoga Cannons. At one point, Morgan disappeared and wrote me the most beautiful letter and brought it to me. It is possibly the sweetest thing I have ever read. It brought tears to both our eyes and it was just the pep talk I needed to help us push through and get these projects done as quickly as possibly. I will forever cherish this letter and the many helping hands that evening.
