Books for Gabe

Sorting the Books

Cleaning and Labeling the books

Catching up while we're cleaning.

Organizing the stacks of over 2, 500 books

Even Ms. Peri was our big helper

David and Amy made the cake

We all sang Happy Birthday to sweet baby Gabe who would have turned 3 today.  This is such a neat thing that Amy and her family do for Gabe every year on his birthday. It is an honor to participate and help with this project.  All the donated books are cleaned, labeled with a sticker of Gabe's memory on the inside, and taken to hospitals all over for sick children.  The Saville's are a great family, who have made something good, out of a tragic situation.  We love you Savilles!
Amy, I hope you don't mind- your pictures are WAY better.
Peri loved bringing me a big stack to clean.

Taylor and Ana having a good time while cleaning.

Peri was the driver of the D.I. books. She was very good at making sure the not so 
perfect books went to the give away pile.

My favorite picture ever. Sweet Jenna giving her mom a hug right 
after singing Happy Birthday. So tender. What a good mom!
