More from Phoenix; Sunshine!

We are having a great time with G&G and Rick&family. Sunday we all went to to the Chicago Cubs / Cleveland Indians Spring Training Game. Sat out in Left Field where there is bound to be a home run ball. There was but it was for the visiting team, the Indians. Indians won 7-5, we were rooting for the Cubs. The kids enjoyed the crowds, the excitement of a big league game, and hanging out in the sun.

Monday we went to the Phoenix Zoo. This is NOT a real elephant but a static display of an African Elephant that the kids gathered around. It was a cool day at the zoo. Very nature exhibits for the area. Had a really good time, but we were exhausted by the time we headed back. Also, took a video of the baboons getting a snack.

A picture of blossoming cactus. This is an incredible time to be in this area because the cactus are blooming, bushes are in bloom, trees are budding.

Last day at the community center pool.


Update on prayer requests:
1) Jason is doing well. The antibiotics took to the cellulitis infection that he had. Things are back to normal.
2) Sarah had her two wisdom teeth out and is doing well. She will return back to Spokane to work as a nanny later tonight.
3) Leah had her interview down her for a teaching job. She was shown around the new school where she would work if she gets the job. She will attend a Job Fair in Bend Oregon this coming weekend.
4) Pray for Gail Smith who is battling cancer. She is currently in the hospital unable to eat. She is in a lot of pain and being attended to in the hospital. Pray for comfort from pain and a clear understanding of her condition. Pray for wisdom for the doctors treating her. Pray for Mike and the kids.
