At least once a month I try to have a dinner party at our house. Ella (8) usually makes the placecards for our guests. They warm my heart. It's somethingI used to do as a kid. Also, seeing Ella interact with the smart, wonderful friends that come have a meal with us and hang out, is the best thing ever. Trying to raise some wordly kids. Crossing my fingers it's working out. (Image by @wesleyverhoeve)
