Fundraiser

Lauren is married!!! We had a great wedding weekend...the fun started on Thursday night with her lingerie shower/ bachelorette party. I can't wait for the wedding pictures to put up - they are fabulous! When I get them, I will post them asap. Here are a couple of pictures from Thursday night:

But here is what this post is about. On Wednesday afternoon, Elijah set up a lemonade stand, with cookies and brownies too. We had our huge harvest weekend at church yesterday and we had been talking to him about how he could raise some money for mission work and orphans around the world. He suggested a lemonade stand.


He made his own sign


And stuck with it for over 2 hours!!! He waved and smiled to people passing by, which of course prompted them to stop, and he was such a trouper. Never complained and was genuinely excited about it.


Anyone want to guess how much he made in about 2 hours???

50 BUCKS!!! I was so proud of him and he was really proud to dump it in the wheelbarrow at church yesterday. I hope he always has a heart for helping others in the name of Jesus.

Wow, that is great! He is such a great kid - and I'm not just being partial because I'm his Nana!
