Yesterday, I mowed the lawn in the afternoon, picked Ben up from preschool, then came home to get cleaned up. While I was showering, I heard a knock on the bathroom door and some heavy footsteps going quickly down the stairs. I was so confused. When I came out, this is what I found on the bathroom door. He had made it at preschool that day. I thought it was pretty clever to improvise using the bathroom door to surprise me with a May basket.
Same day, our neighbor Georgia came to play and brought her dogs. She lives two doors down, but there are gates in the fences so she can cut through backyards to get here...that's also how the dogs get here. Sam was in heaven...hugging and getting kissed by the dogs. They were very sweet with him.
The final picture is a bouquet of flowers from my Seminary students. Today was the last day, and they made me a book with all of their testimonies in it. Most mornings, they are pretty glassy eyed and it's hard to know if anything is sinking in, but this kind of a thank you reminds me that daily efforts make a big difference in the big picture. The best part of this teaching assignment has been the personal, spiritual blessings that have come with it. If it weren't for other demands on my time right now, I would teach forever, but it looks like I'll be taking a break for a while.

What a great day! That is so cute that Ben suprised you and didn't just hand you the basket : ). Congrats on finishing your seminary calling--sounds like they were really touched by you.
