Recent activities of the kidlet...

FALL IS FUN!

Fun at the Scarecrow Festival

Lyssie singing with her group.

This very talented young guy sang "This is your song" by Elton John. It was an awesome performance.

A Giveaway!

I just wanted to say that there are so many cool people in this world. I wish I could meet every one of them. I recently met one of these great people. Her name is Circe. Her sister-in-law is a wonderful artist and is having a fun giveaway. Visit her at Come Fly Over My Cuckoo Nest and enter to win.

Updates from Camp Hiawatha...

Just kidding, the camp isn't really named Hiawatha...in fact I don't know the name of the camp. I just know where it is. Anyhoo, Scott was up at the camp for a day and overnight to help oversee some of those giggly girls and he got some great photos. Here are a few:

Waking up with new friends is always fun!

Maxin' and relaxin'

Beautiful wildlife all around.

Looks like she's having a blast! Can't wait for her to come home and fill us in with all the fun activities she was able to do.

DO NOT MESS WITH MY FRIENDS!

I'm sorry but I have kept my mouth shut far too long. I have seen acquaintances and friends with mean and hateful comments posted on their blogs under the cloak of "anonymous" way too much.

There were some unsolicited comments posted to my friend's blog who is in China right now picking up the most precious thing in her life (her child). People wonder why this world is filled with wars, hate crimes and inhumanity...it is because of simply hateful awful people. Live and let live, geez is that so hard to do. Apparently these people know everything about everything and they were the perfect picture of an adoptive parent...I think not.

Keep your nasty, inaccurate and unsolicited opinions to yourself. Did you forget how to play nice in Kindergarten???

Our Christmas Fun!

Well we had a great Christmas with lots of cheer. We all had fun and received gifts that we wanted. We have fond memories from each side of the family and had a wonderful time spending time in our little family as well. Hope you all had a great one.
