Booga Update 07/24/06

Hi

Dear Family & Friends,

I am 6 months old today, 19 lbs+2 ozs, and 27 inches long. My next appointment with the Doc is tomorrow and I’m scheduled to get more of those horrible shots! Being at day care with all my friends is great. I can sit up now but I have to work on "staying" up. Right now, it seems like it’s easier and more fun to just lay down and “roll” wherever I want to go. Crawling is too much work. Maybe I’ll give it another try next month. I’m still on water, juice, milk, cereal, veggies, and fruit but, I think that may change. It looks like my first tooth is going to appear soon. When it does, “finger foods” look out…here I come! It’s been a very busy month and I have been on the move. I’m still making my rounds and meeting some family and friends for the first time. My Mom and Grandparents are having trouble keeping up with me. They all complain about being tired and I feel like I’m just getting started. I may have to strike out on my own and leave all the “tired folk” at home! Here are just some of the things I did this past month.

1. Attended Cousin Miles' Christening

2. Attended a family meeting about the Meuse Reunion

3. Attended the King Family Picnic

4. Went bowling at Center Lanes

5. Went to South Street & Penn’s Landing

6. Spent the day with my Godmother Latoya

7. Attended Cousin Rikki’s surprise bridal shower

You name it...I was there! It was great to finally meet my Cousins Jackson, Jaden, Janiah, Laila, and Nailah. I hear I have another new cousin by the name of Jaden and I can't wait to meet him too. My Mom and Grandparents are doing fine and said to tell you "hello"! NO, my Grandmother has not decided on a name yet. Well, that's all for now. Look for my next update on 08/24/06. Don't forget to come back from time to time to check for new pics. Thanks for stopping by!

Love, "The Booga..."

Gone But Not 4 Gotten

Kitty 1

"My Mommy told me she had a cat."

"And her name was 'Pebbles'."

"My Mommy said she loved 'Pebbles' very much."

"And that means, I would have loved 'Pebbles' too!"

In Loving Memory of "Pebbles"

Rainbow

The Rainbow Bridge

Because of its many colors, the bridge connecting Heaven and Earth has come to be known as the Rainbow Bridge. Just this side of the Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and lush green valleys. When a beloved pet passes away, this wonderful place serves as their new home. There is always an abundance of food, water, and warm sunshine. Old and frail animals are young again, and those who have been maimed are made whole. They make new friends and play all day. Pets touch our lives for a short time but they remain in the warmest corners of our of hearts forever.

caring, cooperation, fairness, and kindness the hard way!





PRAYER FOR CHILDREN

Lord Jesus, You were never too busy to pay attention to children, for You dearly loved them. We are happy that you love us and that You have time to listen to our prayers and to answer them. We thank You that You have made us Your own. As we get bigger and stronger every day, help us to grow stronger in our faith too. Bless our parents, whom You have given to us, and help us to respect and obey them, to love and treasure them. Forgive us when we disobey them or when we fail to respect them as Your previous gifts to us. Give them the wisdom to train us in the good and right way. Bless our home and every member of our family with a strong faith in You and true love to one another. Teach us to be kind, unselfish, helpful, cheerful, forgiving, and faithful in our duties. Help us to be like You, Lord Jesus, to grow in wisdom and character and in favor with God and all people. Send Your angels to watch over us, to keep us from all harm of body and soul. Bless us, and make us a blessing to our family and friends. Amen.
