A Day at the Zoo with my Babies!

Sam, all tired out!
Uncle Joe with the kids...he's great
"Hey, it's something to drive."
"It's me, Miss Lally. Don't forget me."
Sam getting soooo big. They like to get out and move
Okay, let's get going.
It's time for a cold drink
Checking out the mice! Yuck!
"Stick with me guys, I'll get us around." (He did)
"Okay Maddie, what's our first stop?"
Sam and Aunt Marla peeking in the bus window
Beautiful Abigail...so good

Marla called this morning, a beautiful morning, and asked if I would like to go to the Zoo today. I had Victor all night and of course he was thrilled to hear the news.
We called Meredith and Joe and Meredith had a school meeting that kept her from going but Joe and Sam went with us. It was a blast!!!!
The pix below will show you some of the highlights of the day. Check out Victor with the map, he was truly plotting our way....the little man is too smart.
I love the pix of Abigail and Sam all tuckered out. They were all so good and Marla, Joe and I agreed that the walk, sunshine and company was great.

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
