More photo's of the kids at Memphis. These are taken at a play area of the Memphis Zoo. I realize after going through all of the pictures we didn't get any of the animals! They enjoyed the trip, I think though that the Springfield zoo better for the little ones and actually you seem to be able to "get up close and personal" at the Springfield zoo more than the Memphis Zoo..

More photo's of the carrosel ride in Memphis...






I couldn't get many really good photo's because I kept getting "motion sickness" and I wasn't even on the carousel ride!!! Here is Tessa with Mike. She is finally getting to have some fun!Annie Grace looks like she is ready to fly off at any moment.I already knew that I wasn't riding on it as I have done that before and it made me sick. I thought that I would be safe this time....NOT....anyway I will try to get more photo's up.I is so hard with "dial up" Internet service to get anything posted.I feel like I am in the "Dark Ages"...

Our week at St Judes....





I am going to try to upload some pictures of the kids that we took during our week at St Judes. We went to the zoo, rode the carousel at the mall and they went to a Christmas party at St Judes. I will say though that our girls remarked how they did not want to live in the city!! That was no surprise to us...

Another week down, two more to go....

well what a week it has been we have had six of our eight kids with us . We have gone to the zoo, the mall to ride on the carousel and a Christmas party. They are exhausted!! Not to mention mom and dad....lol....
Tessa is getting along really well and we haven't seen any burning on her skin at all which is so good.
Thanks again to everyone for their prayers! Also to Habitat of Hope for the meal they sent last night.
We are home for the weekend...Yeah...
