Why does the dog have his tongue out???

Do you have any pictures of God?

Grace, who is 3 1/2, noticed some pictures on my screen from when she was a baby (from our adoption trip). After a few questions she said "I'm growing! God is always changing me." ... then she threw me with this one... "Do you have any pictures of God?" Help.

    Caroline Godbey Kelley I'm told that in addition to looking like Kenny Rogers my dad looks like some depict God. Not that Kenny looks like God. I'm just repeating what people have said about my dad. :)

    Cecilia Wutka She is old enough for a simple biblical explanation - tell her that the bible doesn't tell us what God looks like. He isn't human like us, but you could explain that people try to picture him, usually as a kindly grandfather.

    Anne Turner aw...how sweet. How about a picture of the grand canyon? zion national park? the ocean? Probably too abstract for a 3 1/2 year old. :)

The NEW YEARS EVE ride on the MACY's PINK PIG

Getting ready to go...

Having fun...

More fun...

The MACY'S PINK PIG a holiday MUST here in Altanta... We had nothing planned for today and Grace and not been to the Pink Pig so off we went tonight... After checking that they where open and what time they closed. Upon arriving at the mall we found that the mall was closing early (I should have know says the former retail manager...What was I thinking?) and the Pink Pig was also... While waiting in the line of cars circling the parking lot I jumped out of the car and ran to the tent... There was a gentleman with his had in the flaps of the tent... "What time do you close???" I asked... He asked me how many children do you have... "One" come ahead he said... So I ran back to the car and got Grace and Scott... Ran back to the tent and rushed inside looking for our benefactor who was restarting the Pig... We where followed in by twin boys about 8 or 9... Who asked "Are you open?" The young man said no but come ahead. One of the boys went to tell his father who brought the sisters and Mom... They where followed in by a Mom with two girls and a father who was smart enough to come in the EXIT... So here we all where riding the PINK PIG for nothing on a night that they where supposed to be closed... The young man let us ride around twice... We got off and thanked him $$$ profusely.. The other families rode around again and when we left two more families where probably treated to an extra special evening of fun by the night security officer.... MEMORIES WHERE MADE TONIGHT!!!
