Staying Connected Sometimes life pulls us away from our everyday routines. Jasper’s family works on documentaries and they traveled recently to Switzerland for over three weeks. They had established a tradition where they create a book from their travels, naming it :______ is Beautiful. Switzerland is Beautiful was made from Jasper’s first trip to the country during his infancy…

Trike-a-Thon Goal Surpassed!
Thank you to everyone who participated online and in person at the Trike-A-Thon event during Peachfest. Our goal this year was to raise $1,000 and we’ve brought in almost $1,500 for St. Judes Children’s Hospital!! We’ll keep the collection open through the end of June for those who were out of town. MUCH LOVE -Kris
