Oh My!!!  My Four little Starfish!!!  You know the starfish story right??

A young boy was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When he came to each starfish, he would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched him with amusement.

He had been doing this for some time when a man approached him and said, “Little boy, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”

The boy seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, he bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he looked up at the man and replied,

“Well, I made a difference to that one!”

Oh and We Leave In TWO DAYS!!!!!  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!  

We are so Ready to Bring Home Our Newest Starfish!!!!

We are Coming Baby Lyla!!!!!!
