we're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. how about you, you, you. you can come too, too, too. we're going to the zoo.friday we went to the zoo with my mom, sister, and her boys.i cannot wait till they are legally adopted so i can share pix with you, and show you just how ADORABLE they are!i love the way her oldest says, "tia denise pick me up," and then he comfortably settles into my embrace, letting his sweet little hands rest on my neck. he is so loving.
i love the way the babies eyes light up. oh, he is a sweet, happy boy!
i know i am just their tia (their "favorite tia" as i have taught them to refer to me), but i know i can say for the entire family that we are all BLESSED that God wrote them into our lives. He is a good God! me with my sister toni.
Sounds like a great day! I wish I could come too, too, too....but we're hunkered down here trying to potty train.... :)
Denise, can I just say that your beautiful heart truly inspires me. I love how you weave God's goodness into everything you write about. So encouraging.
Praying that the adoption goes through smoothly and quickly :)

Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character different at the end than it was in the beginning. Through Painted Deserts Donald Miller "Our whole life was only given to us to advance us by great strides toward our heavenly country." Lancelot Andrews In my life, God is always changing the way I think of Him. I am not saying GodHimself is changing, or thatmy theology is open and I blur the lines on truth;I am only saying I think I know who He is, then I figure outI don't know very much at all. Searching For God Knows What Donald Miller
A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis
Sounds like a great day!
