Sophia at Sea World

A Sophia coffee cup from Sea World, San Diego

From Shannon. I love this one because my in-laws have pet names for Eddie and I. He is Brown Bear and I am Polar Bear. While I was pregnant the girls were our Panda Bears. And to this day anytime I see something with a Panda Bear on it I get it for Mya.

Thank you Shannon for thinking of Sophia and I.

First let me say this is the best 30th birthday gift I got today. This is from a wonderful online friend Shey. Her story of her daughter Whitney is such a powerful one. She blogs at: www.whitneyjill.com I suggest if you have a moment stop by there.

I wanted to share some of what Shey shared in her email to me:

"There is an Egyptian saying that is carved on the walls of many of the royals' tombs that says "to speak the name of the dead is to make them live again." I hope by sending you this picture and knowing that you and your little one were thought of and that I prayed for you and your heart specifically, you will find some comfort and joy today."

Thank you so much Shey. Can't wait to see you in October.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

Guess what I got today in the mail?

That is right we are now incorporated. This afternoon I will get my EIN from the IRS and now we can start moving forward.

I thought this would never happen. There is still so much work to be done. We have to keep the ball rolling.

Now we need to find a park. I am starting to give up on the City of Long Beach and they keep telling me they are going to get it approved this week and week after week I hear nothing.
