Still stop 5...

 M had a love-hate relationship with puppy M at Auntie L and Uncle M's house... when I finally told her, in exasperation, that puppy M wasn't concerned about her at all and that puppy M didn't feel well anyways, well, that just tugged at her heartstrings.  She worked up to even petting puppy M (who really does just lay around all day, poor thing), but the sweetest thing is when she remembered puppy M in her prayers!

Oh, one more "adventure" at M and L's house is that M got to sleep in a BUNK BED!  How cool is that??  She got some really good sleep (yay!), but was pretty fascinated by the TOP bunk.  One night before bed, she prayed, "And pray that M doesn't have to sleep there (pointing to the bottom bunk because she REALLY wanted that top one!)."

AND did I mention the food??  This year *almost* every family planned a meal (or fifteen if you're LC or three if you're JJ).  : )

JJ's "new" salad that I request all the time now.  Yum.

Mmmm... cupcakes... but not just any cupcakes... corn on the cob cupcakes!  Not sure if they were worth the impending hurt feelings, BUT they were delicious!  ; )
