Wow is right! The children look absolutely happy happy happy. These pics are great! What does Ahna have in her hand in the 1st pic? THE PIGS are DISGUSTING. When you click on each picture to blow it up - you can see their guts and the look on their faces - YOU ATE THAT???? Man, I would had to see how big their rats are - these look like cats or chihuahuas - are you sure they aren't chihuahuas? You guys look so awesome! Hey fire jumper, you're cool!

Hey Eric, Eli here. Those pictures look really awesome, my favorite is the one where you jump over the fire. I didn't even think you guys would have the internet where you are. The house just doesn't feel the same since you left buddy. We all miss you and are looking forward to your return. God bless.

Eric - I must say that me and the mother unit had a good laugh at the picture where you are jumping over the fire. I guess somethings never change. I think it made me think of that Ace Ventura movie. All I can say it "Bumble bee tuna". (I hope its not irreverent of me to make mention of that movie here. lol) Anyways keep up the good work guys... - Richard
