Here's a pic of the kids heading to the car this morning. This is our new "home", well, this half is our new "home". We share the house with two young male airmen, Im sure they are enjoying the noise of our ZOO! There are two parks within a block, so the kids are really enjoying more time outside.
Our first day in the house, Luke locked three of the doors and closed them behind him!! It took me two days to figure out how to unlock them:)

I was driving down the road and this caught my attention, and I thought it was SO funny. I had to turn around in 5o'clock traffic to get this pic! Is it a sign that we need a baby and a dog?...

Here are the girls with my dear friend Linda. She was the mayor of our town when I was growing up, and I had the honor of traveling to Russia with her when I was 17. The girls enjoyed soaking up attention from Linda and her husband, and they enjoyed the kids as well. Here she is wearing an Ethiopian scarf, the girls gave her as a gift.

Look at ALL those pennies!!! The girls did a penny drive with their classes to raise pennies for the www.change4orphans.org organization. Their classes did great!!!
We just finished counting, and came up with $64.82 for a grand total! That means, the change collected from these three classes represents 6,482 of the over a million orphans in Ethiopia!

I just wanted to share.
Maree came flying through the living room on one roller skate yelling "A slippery shoe!"
These girls are a trip!
