We missed our Baby Garnet's baptism this weekend - but God love her, Steph sent us pictures! Here is Baby Garnet with her godparents - how cute is that little grin!
Here is a pic of Steph and Mark and baby Garnet at the New Mexico State fair - yep, this is why we're friends!
Last night, in honor of those who did not go quietly into the night - we watched Flight 93. It was profound - it was sad, but more importantly, it was as accurate a portrayal as they could make. The special features included shots of the actors meeting with the families of people on board that flight. They chose to fight - even knowing they might die - and I think that is what September 11 should be about - those people who want into the fire - who went the extra mile to be brave. Mourning has it's time, but I wonder if there will come a time where we commemorate the indominable spirit those people on the flight - those in the Pentagon, those in the port Authority and firemen and police and the zillions of others who stepped up when the need came. I hope that by the time my kids are grown, that will be what we celebrate - instead of letting the pain caused by terrorists continue to dominate the day.
My friend Amber still has Mocha at her house, since she isn't weaned yet. But weaning stars this week as our baby Mocha, the sheep, is on her way to the county fair. She will be a part of the petting zoo - so our girl is famous!
