An Unlikely Way to be Heroic

A Chinese policewoman is being praised for her aid after the massive earthquake in China. Not only has she done her duty as a police officer, but she has also been breastfeeding infants in the disaster area as well. Five of the children she has fed were orphans. She also helped moms whose milk dried up or wasn't sufficient to feed their own kids.

This amazing lady is truly doing God's work!

You can see a video of this story from CNN.

Sunday School

This morning we attended a Special Olympics basketball game to cheer on some friends. It was about an hour away from home, but a good time for all. Our friends got third place in the State, but both teams got medals. Everyone who plays in a Special Olympics sponsored sport is a winner!

For lunch, we went to an Irish Pub. It seemed like a tourist pub you'd find in Dublin, rather than one you'd find frequented by locals. The girls wimped out, in that they had Mac & Cheese. Daddy had a Corned Beef & Slaw Sandwich. Mommy had the Irish Monte Cristo. While we were there, we talked about Ireland, Gaelic, and leprechauns. Darn, school on a Sunday.
