3A All-Stars

Mommy and Emma in their 3A All-Star shirts

Erica, Kerry, Melanie, Maddie & Emma

Emma's teacher, Melanie McKee, is using a sports theme in her third grade classroom this year: In the spirit of teamwork, the class called itself the "3A All-Stars" and today they all came to school in their class T-shirts. As the class mom, Erica wore her All-star shirt as well. Three Cheers for 3A!

Yum yum !!

Emma and her pal Maddie helping out at the Nest Children's Home after school today.

Although many orphans live within the Nest, most of the children who call this loving place home are staying here while their mothers are in prison. Emma and Maddy visited the Nest's half-way house today, where released mothers are reunited with their children and provided a stable environment to bond and get back on their feet.
