Back in December (2008), my sister Melanie along with her daughter Ruthie and son Ben traveled to Tennessee for Christmas. I hadn't seen Melanie in about three years so was so excited to spend time with her. Living in Hawaii, she seems a million miles away, though we text and talk.
Mel is working with Head Start in a toddler program for teen moms. She is blessing those young moms as they come in during their class breaks to spend a few minutes with their babies. She's there for them when they're going through trials at home.
Ruthie is attending a marine biology school set right on the beach with no walls. A recent project was a butterfly garden and native ponds.
Ben has been living in Portland, Oregon for a while. He continues to work on his music and has found a few other musicians to jam with.
Melanie and Ruthie were with us for 3 weeks so they got to see some snow while they were here. However, it didn't compare to the snow storms they had experienced in Portland while visiting Cody and Candice. By the time our little bit of snow arrived, they were tired of it.
They didn't get to see much while they were here but we had a wonderful visit--and that's what it's all about--sitting and chatting with your lil sis.
