The United Nations

This was the bench we hung out on while waiting to talk to Delegates
In front of the United Nations Building
This is the room we were in at the last session. We were in the balcony.
k The woman next to me is a Polish Catholic woman. She is a doctor and a dear friend.
This is the UN Building
I won't be able to say enough about Layla an ambassador from Iraq. She was imprisoned by terrorists and tortured etc. She was let go when our army came in and she fled to Canada. She returned when it was safe and became an ambassador for Iraq. She is a great lady and a great friend. I hope to do more with her. She is grateful for the US coming in to liberate their people from Saddam.

These are the women I went with from United Families International.
Back on "the bench" with other defenders of family

This bird hit our big window and died.
The grandkids were upset. So we had a great
discussion.

The kids took turns helping to bury the bird.

Shannon Is Pregnant

Shannon and Aaron did their 2nd try at Envitro. It worked!!!!!! These are the two embryos that were implanted.
In the upper left hand corner you can see a streek of light. That is when the embryos were implanted. The doctor said that it must be good because of the light!! It could be twins. Stay tuned.
