Bleating Moments

...as the herd gathers for Musical Mornings with Ella.

Goats bleat to express their feelings; humans play music to express theirs. Moments like these are therapeutic for us all.  

Today we celebrate another special moment:  our annual June 18th Ella B Day (the official day Ella became a Broussard in the eyes of the courts).  So thankful God chose us to do life together.  She is definitely our most valued treasure!

And, an ever-so-sweet cat nap made her day complete!

We're enjoying every bleating, fleeting moment with our little Miss Ella B:).

Official Ella B Day!

On June 18, 2010, Ella officially became a Broussard through the court system, so each June 18th is designated:
Official Ella B Day!

To honor this special day, our tradition is to pass on the blessings that she received by sharing, with others, her gently used clothes and toys.  Learning to care and share is an important life lesson to be embraced and modeled.

Last June, we made our donation to Alternatives in Motion (AIM) Adoption Agency http://www.aimadoptions.org/ in Houston where Troy, Ella and I became a family.

June 18, 2010 Donations

We have lots of donations again this year all packed up and ready to go.  If you know of a local family in need, please contact me.

At the end of the evening we shared cookies, milk and bedtime stories with family and friends...
