Another year older

Tomorrow Eden will turn fifteen years old. Today we celebrate her birthday.

She's an excellent chef, baker, and all-around kitchen helper.



She's a wonderful big sister




and not so bad as a little sister, either.



She's gifted as an artist.

And these days she's busy turning the "boys' room" into her room.

Five years ago she had the idea to start collecting items for backpacks to give to foster children transitioning into foster care. That idea turned into Backpacks of Hope, an initiative under Our Father's Hope, which just happened to become a non-profit this year. Thanks to her, over 1,400 backpacks have been given to vulnerable children in Central PA. You can help us honor Eden's fifteenth birthday by contributing to Backpacks of Hope. We have an Amazon wishlist which can be found on the Backpacks of Hope Facebook page.

Here is Eden accepting a contribution to Backpacks of Hope
and eloquently speaking about the project.

Thank you, Eden, for being a blessing to us and to so many others.
