Kiss The Frog 4 Me: Just Singin In The Rain & MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!

Sophie has been infatuated with the weather lately. She asks all the time whether it is sunny or rainy, cloudy or even snowing! As a matter of fact, she insists that it is "snowing up in the clouds" in the middle of summer and wants to wear her snow boots and mittens! It has been hilarious and at the same time frustrating, as you cannot reason with her that it really will not snow outside for another 6 months at least!! She gets very upset when you do not agree with her that it is snowing outside... so if you see her and she tells you it is snowing, please go along with it (if you don't want to witness a three year old meltdown)! You have been warned!

But, we were able to make her smile this weekend by letting her play with her umbrella in the rain. The pictures turned out so cute, I had to share some Bug cuteness!

On another note, please visit Angel's blog as she has written a tribute to a wonderful little guy that you do not want to miss.

There are some AMAZING people in this world and I am honored to call many of them my friends, whether I have met them in person or not. I love seeing how we all reach out to really make a difference. I am so proud of you Zoe, Angel and Kaitlyn!!

And, I was going to post later about a very special friend of mine, who is in Guatemala right now, making a difference as we speak! But, please go check out Juju's Global Orphan Team Blog and go with her as she finds ways to make a difference in a place so near and dear to many of our hearts!!! She and two other WONDERFUL ladies, Kerry and Megan, have joined together to make Global Orphan Team a reality!

I love you, Julia, and am so proud of you and your team to reach out to orphans everywhere that hold a special place in our hearts!!

BE THE CHANGE!

So precious Sophie is with her umbrella. I was obsessed with umbrellas when I was a little girl. I remember my Mom telling me about it all the time as I got older. Can you believe she saved on of them in her "cedar" chest. She said I would play for hours with it and sing and dance.

What a wonderful thing JuJu is doing! So very rewarding..

Love and Hugs..; June 30, 2008 at 8:54 AM

I would not be in Guatemala if I did not have super partners like Kerry and Megan - we are all in this together, We will not be able to see this God given dream through without the love, prayers and support from amazing friends like you :)
Counting on you being a part of this:):)

Thanks again my friend:)
