Wouldn't it great to have the enthusiasm of a child? Number 6 has such an enthusiasm for life. Everything is done with great exuberance. Today she had school pictures in Preschool, and has been looking forward to it all week. You would have thought it was a photo shoot or something. Every morning she goes outside to say hello to all the animals. We have three dogs, a sheep, and four doves. One of our dogs - "Fred" - adopted us about 6 months ago. She showed up in our yard and wouldn't leave. We tried to find her owners and no one would claim her so she became ours. She is very skitish and is nervous around people. We think she was probably abused. Because of that she won't always let the kids near her. Every day 6 tries again to pet her. On some days Fred will come close to her and let her get in a little pat. Then 6 runs back in the house so excited and has to find me and tell me. It's what we all need, a love of life and everything in it.

IS IT LOVE?

I miss being like that. I miss having a dog:-( w have cur but she isnt mine. My mom and husband will not let me have a duck either isn't that mean! after the baby so in probably two months me and scott are going to come visit you if that is ok?? He has never been to Pima and that is where some of his family was from so i decided I wanted to see you so I hope that is ok with you?? I still havent met your kids yet and i also have not been to your new home. Maybe I can get my mom to go with us or we will bring Grandma. She needs to spend time with your kids she just loves them and talks about them whenever i go over there!
We would love to have you come to visit. Jason especially would love to see you. And of course we want to see your baby. We have lots of room, so plan on staying when you come. That is mean that they won't let you have a duck. Shame on them.:)
