I get to post again from google because there are so many interactions on a daily basis and we've been going for 4 years so here is how I feel today about these guys:
Once again they never cease to amaze me. Jesus is so wonderful and perfect to have kids be around. He means business with the kids , but at the same token can be so playful and fun and the kids show their adoration for him !
Ve, the manager of Greentree Rainbow, well right now I literally have tears in my eyes. She isn't just working at a job , she is fully there and she cares about your child so much and she cares about
