StoryBook Land meets Lukey and his Preschool Class

I believe the title of the blog page for today states it all...LOL! Signal Hill Preschool Program had their 1st class trip at StoryBook Land today. StoryBook Land is sorta like Disney but for Preschoolers (more or less) and it is all themed with Mother Goose and Fairy Tales, truly an incredible experience. We have been to StoryBook Land before for the holidays...we adore StoryBook Land :) Ron offered to help out and stated he would be happy to be a chaperon. Needless to say, he was exhausted when he returned home today...LOL! What I thought was extremely cute, Lukey kept on telling Ryan and myself what a GREAT time we missed out on today by not going to StoryBook Land with his class. I adore 4 year olds :)

I LOVE the white peacock, so beautiful!

Enjoy the photos :)

Love & HUGS,
Jenny, Ron, Ryan & Lukey :)

Ryan's 1st Communion

We are extremely proud of our little Ry Guy!!! Today, May 1, 2011, he made his 1st Communion :) I, of course, cried my eyes out! Why? Because he is growing, I can't stop him, and he looked SO handsome in his suit...what a kid!!! Doesn't he look way tooooo small to be making his 1st Communion?! Mass was at 12 Noon and then we celebrated at Due Amici's in Cinnaminson with brunch. We couldn't be prouder!!!

Enjoy the photos :)

Love & HUGS,
Jenny, Ron, Ryan & Lukey :)

I saw a child, no legs below, sit on a horse and make it go through woods of green and places he had never been to sit and stare, except for a chair. I saw a child who couldn't crawl mount a horse and sit up tall. Put it through degrees of paces and laugh at the wonders in our faces. I saw a child born in strife, take up and hold the reins of life. And that same child, I heard him say, "Thank God for showing me the way". courtesy of Fundraising Know How Please donate what you can, every little bit helps!

LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD

Once there were two women who never knew each other, One you do not remember, the other you call Mother, Two different lives shaped to make you one, One became your guiding star, the other became your sun, The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it, The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it, One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name, One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim, One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears, One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried you tears, One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do, The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you. Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of? Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.---- Unknown
