"You name it, we'll build it!" declared Christi to others who would walk by and admire their work.

Loving the free rides

On our 3rd straight day of going to "African Wildlife Safari Park" Shayla rides the camel. (We love that zoo pass good at 200 zoos in America, thank you!)






Four years ago today we were in Dallas, Texas along with Shayne's Dad. I was there for a teacher's meeting. That night we went back to our good friends' home for the evening. The kids played in their backyard and watched the fireworks; it was precious. Today I'm missing old times and sending tons of LOVE and PRAYERS to the wonderful Baker family.

We just returned home after spending five wonderful days at Shayne's mother's apartment. (Shayne drove back to work, but the girls and I stayed the whole time. We are so blessed!) I'll update with some pics now.

CAT SURVEY OVER. Christi and I were literally stunned at the overwhelming response to her cat survey question. There must be hundreds of cat lovers in cyberland! In less than 24 hours she received over 85 emails. I think she has enough data to continue on with her project. Thanks for sharing your stories with us and for richly blessing us with your love and concern! You are amazing!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL OF OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS!
