waders or furry boots???

waders or furry boots? your guess!!! nattie had just taken off her boots and emma lael wanted to put them on...as you can see it would be a bit difficult for her to put them on herself...she tried for several mintues trying to put them on but it was a task she needed help with...i lifted her up and "plopped" her in nattie's boots...i had no idea they would actually be the entire length of her legs...we laughed so hard at her while she slid across the floor saying the entire time "no, emma lael boots nattie boots" for those of you who know emma lael that statement is very funny..right aunt amy :)

strollers

when we returned from new day in october kent & i along with new day asked for people to consider purchasing double strollers for new day within 2 days we had 19 strollers bought and on their way to kent's warehouse to be shipped to beijing china...our original plan was to put the strollers onto a container that was already going to china...kent company normally ships 1-2 containers monthly to china...in the past 2 months china has stopped buying metals from the u.s.a. that means zero containers being sent to china...now we need to raise $660.00 to ship the 19 strollers to new day...i am asking for donations towards the shipping of these 19 strollers...kent has been able to get them clarified as humanitarian goods and they can be sent via container to china with other humanitarian goods....it will take 6-8 weeks for them to arrive in china...if you'd like to donate please email me at akgn1234@aol.com

emma lael had fun in this box while we put Christmas decorations outside...we took her today to a local church that puts on "a walk through Bethlehem" we told her we were going to see baby Jesus...she told everyone "going to baby Jesus" she was able to pet a camel, chicken, goat & rooster.
