“We will always
remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared,
so we may always be free.” -Ronald Reagan |

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
I cannot tell you how proud I am to be an American! I am so
thankful to be a citizen of a country that allows me to worship
the one and only true God, Jesus Christ! I am ever grateful to
those in the military who sacrifice and have sacrificed so much,
even their lives to make and keep this country free! Thank you
so much from the bottom of our hearts! I am especially proud
that one sweet little girl will become a United States citizen
on July 6, 2006! Without you service people, this would not even
be possible! Thank you again!
Well, your prayers are still being answered! Reagan had another
great day with little fever! She still is coughing a lot, but is
now coughing stuff up. We still need to use the inhaler a bit,
but she is doing so much better! She has been so happy and
cheerful! She just smiles and laughs and coos! Most of our
travel group had not even seen her smile or act lively until
yesterday and today. She is truly a miracle! She is so attached
to Sean and me! She loves for us to hold her and to play with
her! I thank God for her bonding! She is so sweet! We cannot
imagine life without her!
Today we went to the Ocean World and the zoo. It was so
miserably hot and humid! It had rained a lot in the morning, and
the humidity just stuck around when the sun came out. Reagan
didn’t really get into it too much. Sean and I loved the live
shows at the arena in Ocean World. They were so amazing. The zoo
was okay, but is was kind of heartbreaking. The animals were so
skinny, and some of them were chained up! It was really sad to
see. I didn’t enjoy it too much. When we got on the bus to go
back to the hotel, we were all literally soaking wet. We then
came home and showered and went to an afternoon tea. The food
was pretty good, and the desserts were too beautiful to eat.
After the tea, Sean and I went to do a little more shopping and
then played a lot more with Reagan in the room. Our hotel is
just beautiful, and the staff is so great! They help you with
everything, even turning down your bed. Well, we only have one
more day here! We love it here, but we cannot wait to get back
to our home and especially our sweet little twins awaiting us at
home! Love and miss you all!

Ashton and
Kieron,
We wish you were here with us! We miss you so much! It is only 2
more days until we are home with you! You would have loved the
zoo and aquarium today. Kieron, we took pictures of a cheetah
for you. Ashton, we took pictures of the Giant Panda and monkeys
for you. You would have loved them, but it was too hot! Tomorrow
we are going to a school. We will be sure to take pictures for
you! We love and miss you both so much! Be good!

“Momma, you smiled at
me. I was beginning to know your smile…
I looked into his eyes. They were dark and warm. I was beginning
to know his face…
Poppa kissed me on the forehead. I knew his eyes now. I knew his
face. Momma, you sang a song like the wind in the leaves of the
green tree outside. I closed my eyes. I knew your voice now. I
knew your smile. I was not afraid anymore.”
