Blu & Caedmon were able to go to New Day from January 10-19 with another NDO Board member. The purpose of their trip was to meet with staff (and kids!) and get a good grasp on how things have been going, what issues need addressing, and a plan to go forward. It was a great trip, and I'm not staying at home next time!
Misheck is so good with the little ones!
Phillip isn't living at New Day anymore, but he came to visit on Sunday/Monday and he FaceTimed me to say hi!
