Picture Day was a HIT!

the children came to picture day with ATTITUDE! karen and i had sooooooooooooo much fun. to be a child, better yet, to be around children really gets the funny bone tickeled. not to mention the juices flowing. what a three day rush. the children at saint maximilian kolbe's korner are truly god's greatest gift. i really believe i received more during my three days with them then i could ever give in return. quick story. one boy, in particular, came to us to get his portrait taken and was, let's just say timid. well, realizing that maybe my 6'3" frame looking down at him appeared a bit "overwhelming" i immediately bent down to shake his hand. after a few minutes of being "joey" the boy soon realized that i was a bit on the "goofy grown-up" side and began to give to me a series of images that filled my heart. you can't begin to imagine the joy that overcomes me to be in the presence of a child's laughter. on top of that to be the one making them laugh. So, thank you to all the wonderful children and their wonderful families that make up the community of saint maximilian kolbe.
