This past week my oldest son was promoted to Captain. There are just no words to express how excited and proud we were of him.
He was so thoughtful as he thanked everyone and brought roses for his beautiful bride, his two little princesses and even for me. Talk about melting a mom’s heart!
Then it was off to the Zoo to celebrate the day and enjoy the spectacular spring weather.
To my surprise while we were walking around I spotted the cutest little monkeys climbing around in the huge live oaks.
Yes…I’ve never seen any cuter monkeys in my life!
After a long walk we stopped to watch the giraffe’s feeding. Then my son wanted to watch the alligator's having lunch.
That steak was a little bit under cooked for my taste, and I was a bit nervous seeing how close that zoo attendant was getting to those gators.
And then one of them got loose and we asked Karli if she wanted to feed him! Notice how valiantly my wonderful husband held his mouth open!
The kids were officially worn out after that event, so we strolled off to see the otters at play.
My sweet daughter in love took this picture of my son, Kayla and me. Here sits one proud momma!
On the way out of the Zoo Karli was thrilled to see this peacock.
After chasing him around for a little while, he finally stopped to show us this amazing display of beauty! Truly this is the handy work of God.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so exciting!
Know that I'm praying so at this end!
Revelation 7:16-17 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Continuing to lift up prayers!
Psalms 71:1-3 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

True comfort comes only from the Lord! Praying that the Lord will bless you with His comfort right now.
Psalms 71:20-21 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
