Last week @ Shelia's...

This is Ali's & Avery's last week at Shelia's -

Ali has been there since she was 3 months old (she's 3 yrs now),

and now Avery has been there since she was 3 months too!

Ms. Shelia is moving to Ocala (the forcing factor here).

Ali is 3, it is a great time to move her to Wellington Academy.

Avery is along for the ride - she is so outgoing, she'll do great where ever she is.

From the first time Eddie and I met Shelia and her daughter Aimee, we just had a good feeling. It's one of those that you can't easily describe, but it just feels right. We prayed a lot for God to guide us in the right direction, and He has not let us down, so i'm trying to keep the faith!

You have been a blessing sent from above to watch over, care for, protect, and love our most valuable posession(s). We don't know how to say Thank You for all that you have done for us as parents and for our children, so I made a book for you to have and enjoy looking back over and cherishing the memories you have made over the last 3 years. We love you and we know you love our kids because they love you too!

You and Aimee will forever be a special part of our childrens lives and we will miss you so much. Please come visit us when you come to town -

Thank you for all you have done for us!

Conversations with Ali...

This AM on the way to Ms. Shelia's, I was totally amazed and entertained

by the conversation that Ali was having with me.

Some of the topics we were discussing were:

Power Lines and Power Poles -

"Mommy, let me tell you something. The little man goes up in the bucket truck waaaaay up high to put the power lines on the power poles..."
"...and, if we don't get electricity to our house, then we can't turn on the lights, or the fans, or the microwave, or apple TV!" TOO CUTE!

Cell Phone Towers -

She was looking out the window and said to me...
"Mommy, those poles don't have lines, how do they work?"
I told her that there were antennas on those towers that transmitted signals, like waves in the air that we can't see...
"Yea, those signals in the air that we can't see, help us talk to daddy's cell phone..."

Air Traffic Control Towers -

"Hey Mommy, you know what! The towers talk to the airplanes, like Uncle Dru's and they tell them that they can land... and, the big towers say to the airplanes that they are clear to take off into the sky."
