Last year for Christmas, Uncle Jerry bought hamsters for the kids. We loved on them for a good long time, then, as with most toys, the newness wore off and we began to neglect them. So, we sent them off to live with some of our friends in "foster care". They LOVED them...especially Mac who thought that his Mom should call the police when they woke up one morning to find one of the hamsters had died. The Keeslers had a nice little hamster funeral for him and buried him in their backyard. It was a good lesson for us here that death is a part of life, and we need to always be ready to meet Jesus. We're curious to see if our little hamster will be in Heaven when we get there!!Thursday, April 17, 2008
