Good Little Tid Bits (Kinda Like Some Bon Bons)

- I got a letter in the mail today from my cousin who lives in 'the city.' I opened it and was very pleasantly surprised to see a handout from her moms club that she's a part of talking about healthy eating.... Well, what do you know, "Buy from local farmers" was one of the suggestions, and (go figure!) Asher Farm was on there! Pretty cool to see our farm being promoted by people we have not even heard of- awesome to see people appreciate what we're doing! And get the reason why we're doing it. Thanks Char!

- Ben took E to work with him today. Very special. E's been asking to go to work with Daddy for quite some time, so a while back they picked out a date on the calendar, and ever since he puts an 'X' on each day before he goes to bed at night. Today was finally the month-long anticipated day! He started off the morning by tagging along to a meeting (the meeting was with someone Ben's had a working relationship with for over a year now- so he was all good with it). Then they went to the houses that Ben just finished building and talked with the new homeowners for a few minutes. They were so sweet to my little E and invited him to the kitchen for cookies while the men talked "new house" stuff. That followed with going to the city offices for whatever reason, and E was just so excited to be at work like "a Daddy" that he sat patiently at the government office (even I have a hard time doing that!) while they waited. And they finished the day off by going to Ben's new office. His boss called E into his office and asked him to watch some Cars videos on youtube with him (talk about a cool boss!) and when that was over, one of Ben's coworkers put E on a chair with wheels and gave him a tour of the whole office that way. Sweet.

- To top that fun 'work' day off, Ben's boss asked E, as he was about to leave, if E wanted to come by his house on the way home and drive dirt bikes for a bit. And check out the geese he hatched at their place (that are now huge). I don't know that any 4 year old boy would turn that down. What I love the most about all this is that Ben's boss never even knew that E would be coming to work, as Ben was not planning on even going in to the office today- but being at his houses and the city and all that.... He was never expecting it and still just loved the fact that Ben brought our little dude in. That says something about where Ben works and who he works for. Just a blessing to be working with such great people- especially in the construction field which is not typically the most tolerant, loving field of work.

- So, this is how my guys ended their long, hard day at work (yes, my 4 year and 10 month old boy is riding a dirt bike ALL BY HIMSELF!!



- The bonus for me that E went to work is that I got a day to just enjoy my sweet little Ez all by himself. Being the not-first-child, that doesn't happen nearly as often as I'd like. So, this is how we spent our hard day at work:
