Our New Years Project

This New Year, Jay and I are starting a little project with Zoe and Reese, and that is a big part of why I finally decided to start this blog (I have had it set up for about a year now, but never done anything with it!) 
This Christmas came and went so fast (coupled with us all getting the stomach flu!) that we didn't have time to do any kind of charity project.  We don't usually do anything big since our kids are so young, but we like to donate to the salvation army, toys for tots, or adopt an angel from the angel tree.  I was so disapointed in myself that none of that got done this year! 
Anyways, on to the project!  Zoe is nearly 3 years old now (and for those of you that know her, very smart!), and Jay and I both want our children to grow up knowing how lucky they are for having everything they need and dozens of people that love and support them, but we also want them to realize that not everyone is that lucky.  So this year, we have vowed as a family to work on one charity project a month.  Nothing big..just small things that we can all participate in.  Jay thought it would be a good idea to share with everyone (via this blog, my idea) what we are doing, and how we are doing it... so that other people can participate too if they want!  Also, people can post needs that they may know certain families/churches/organizations have.  The littlest things make a big difference!  That is what we are trying to teach Zoe this year. :)  I will keep everyone updated as we go along, and will add some day to day Alsup happenings as well.  The girls are growing up so fast!! :(  Stay tuned!
