What Mom could resist sharing these two pictures? Well, not me that is for sure. Can you tell me what LisaMarie, age six and Marshal almost 18, next week, have in common? They are both missing 4 teeth...LOL. Miss LisaMarie is very happy to show you all that are missing. Marshal on the other hand just had his 4 wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday and is not too happy about it. He remembered that he forgot to ask the doctor for his teeth so I called just as soon as I found out he did not have them, but it was too late. I guess the tooth fairy got lucky on that one. LisaMaire is working on number 5 and 6...lets hope that takes a few weeks. She is already having a hard enough time eating corn on the cob, one of her all time favorite foods.
WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe... First Lady Laura Bush..so.. you are nominated per us at SAFF... tell your children.. put it on your blog..to us the Merrill Simon Family is the OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FA...
