I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

April Comes To Visit!

It was so much fun having April & her kids up here for a few days. The kids really enjoyed being able to play with each other again. Ashlynn & Oakley sure were sad when they had to say goodbye. They already have a sleep over planned for when we go down next.
One of the days that April and her kids were up here we decided to go to the Willow Park Zoo. The kids thought it was a blast! (I think Anthony & I are a little burnt out on the zoo though.)

Yea, I'll bet you are tired of the Zoo. Every time someone comes they want you to take them, huh? The kids really like it though. I think we suffer through it so the kids can enjoy themselves.
