A is for ALOHA for JAPAN

 Mr. K was asked to head line a fundraiser at his college for Japan. 
Mr. K jumped on the opportunity to help out Japan.
Miss M and I drove back up (from Naperville) to support the Mr.
Miss M sang! UP on STAGE! in front of a HUGE crowd of strangers!
She was a bit terrified at first, and I thought she was going to cry. My heart just
ached for her. BUT THEN her little voice got a little louder, her head came up a little higher and she sang her heart out. Which burst my heart! I am SO proud of her.



 Miss M dressed up in her kimono and walked around the cafeteria . They RAISED over $500!
They have another benefit concert at the other campus Thursday April 14.
And a very special SHOUT OUT to Mr. K's sister who rounded up the ALOHA
shirt and hat for his concert.


 R E L I E F that is what is on this face!


It may be only a small thing that we can do for Japan, but something none the less. WE are heart broken at the hardships that the country of Japan is suffering. Especially at the thought that there are parents who won't hold their babies again, or babies who won't see there mom and dad again, or families that can not and will not be able to move home. It makes me think about ALL the important things in life, really important things. I thank my Heavenly Father Daily, for the amazing blessings in my life and to comfort those in need.

Marlee's thoughts on Pres. Hinckley


Keenan and I sat down with Marlee and told her that we had some sad yet happy news. We explained to her that President Hinckley passed away and even if we may feel sad, we should also feel happy for him that he is in heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus and his wife Marjorie and we named a few more. Then Marlee said "and Gus and Jagger are up there too with Pres. Hinckley." (Gus was the dog of the family I nannied for and has recently passed away and Jagger was the frog of this friend.) I love how the minds of little children work and that she actually got it!

Marlee also loves to share the story (that I posted earlier) of how she loved to watch President Hinckley - I am sure if you asked her, she will share it with you.


Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace,
A hoʻi aʻe au
Until we meet again
