The Season of Thanks and Giving!

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart -- Helen Keller

Tis the season for thankful hearts, full bellies, giving to others, and spending time with friends and family! 

We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are excitedly anticipating the holidays coming up in December! 

As we reflect back on 2012, we can't help but feel very lucky. We have an amazing staff, incredible kiddos we work with, families that open their hearts and homes to us, and the chance to make a difference in someone's life. This is not a gift that we take for granted, we assure you!
