Awhhhh... well, I might be a tad bit partial, but I think Emma Lael is one of the sweetest preschoolers of all!! And that backpack of her's... ADORABLE ~ just like the little princess who's wearing it!

Thank you for sharing this special day with us... I was so "sited" to see the cute photos!

Hugs,
Tanya

make a difference

one day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking up and gently throwing it into the ocean. approaching the boy, he asked, "what are you doing?" the youth replied, "throwing starfish back into the sea. the surf is up and the tide is going out. if i don't throw them back, they'll die. "son," the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? you can't make a difference!" after listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. then, smiling at the man, he said, "i made a difference for that one."

i LOVE this story....emma lael is one starfish that was saved....would you consider saving a child from being an orphan?
