What is DS? It is double screen on the old Nintendo Game Boy! Our girls just love their new DS's. Red for Charlotte; Silver for Emily and Pink for Madeline. Mary Audrey is thrilled with her new com-pa'-two-er (as she pronounces it AND corrects you IF and WHEN you pronounce it WRONG)

Baxter - Strikes A Pose
Our beloved Westie - Baxter Bininger Harrell will be leaving our family home to join his new family home. After 3 years of trying to accomodate Baxter's needs ; we have decided that it is best to find him a family where he can proudly be the Alpha Male. He needs to be the only child which is a cool thing!
We love Baxter and pray for that we can find him a perfect new family.

MaryAudrey's Special Day!
Imagine if your day was deemed special because you had 2 feet with 10 toes? Well, MaryAudrey realized a dream today. To me it was monumental. A day she could wear 2 shoes confidently. Possibly sandals, or toe nail polish?
I promise to count my blessings when I complain about stress and all the things I lack, Today my 3 year old daughter taught me a valuable lesson. Count your blessings for what you HAVE - even if it is NO TOES - her preference, and what she has become proud of for the first 3 years of her life. These new TOES are not nearly as important to her as they are to me. WOW, I am impressed. God sent MaryAudrey to me for a reason, and I LOVE this child.
"Toes... No Toes"......... NO LONGER!
Wow, what a day! MaryAudrey, for the first time has TOES on both feet - thanks to Mr. Michael, the man who has designed all her prosthetic shoes/feet that have enabled her to wear shoes and get around like all children at school and at play. Mom aka Belinda - has always encouraged honesty about all our uniquenesses - to the point of absurdity! So, today when MaryAudrey received her first prosthetic foot WITH TOES, she emphatically REJECTED it! She cried and mourned her "NO TOES" prosthetic that replaced " NO PROSTHETIC ". This proves the human spirit of acceptance. WOW.. I can't imagine what will happen when we enter high school with high heels???
OH MY!
