Morgan and Faith

I just had to say... I absolutely LOVE these kids- More than 50 billion, trillon longnecks (dinoasaurs for those of you who are questioning that one!)

This photo was taken in October '04 after Race for the Cure. They have grown so much and I have loved every minute of being a part of their lives.

I received this email and it's just a reminder to say a daily prayer for our troops!

'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'

Wildlife Zoo

Morgan (9), Nikkolina (8), Faith (7), and Haley (10)

I took Morgan, Faith, Haley, and Nik to the Wildlife Zoo clear across the world to Litchfield Park. It is so much fun to take all 4 girls together. They are all really great and get along so well. You would think 4 kids would be crazy but it is pretty simple and fun. We saw all kinds of animals and I think what the girls will remember the most is the fact there was a boa constrictor (yep, a SNAKE) that did not have a class to cage it in. I, of course, told them I would meet them at the exit door as they kept telling me there was no glass. How they even got me into the snake exhibit in the first place is beyond my belief! The girls also had a great time petting Llama's, goats, and baby deer.

After we left the zoo we stopped for pizza. We were all starved by the end of the day and then the long trek back home. The girls each wrote Edward a letter and our last stop was The Sportsman's where we purchased a ton of hand warmers for Edward and the girls picked out treats to send to him. I am looking forward to our next venture together!
