Thank you, sweet girls!

I had a fabulous day! Alannah had the day off of school and I had the day off of work. We picked up her cousin and headed to the studio where I work for a photo shoot of the two girls. Through the years I've done quite a few "hugs" portraits of them, and I wanted to do another one.

We packed a picnic lunch and then the played at the arcade. The clerk there gave them extra tokens, and it made me smile to see them so grateful for and extra game.

Tonight was the second night of the Passion Drama at our church, and we had a great night - about 350 people went through the outdoor drama between 6-10. So I'm home and heading to bed. I have to work tomorrow and Sunday, and tomorrow is the last night of the Passion Drama.

I've had a long and wonderful week. THANK YOU for the birthday wishes!
