Lucy: We all love our Dad, and are thankful he was here to feed us and take care of us and sleep with us. Uh, or let us sleep with him. I guess it's the same thing. We surrounded him with love both nights Mom spent in the hospital with our brother Adam.

Xena: We are all thankful that our brother Adam made it through the surgery OK and is in a hospital room recovering. Every day he gets a little better. I sure wouldn't like to have a hole in my stomach letting icky stuff out into my body or something called an ulcer leaking lots of blood into my stomach. *shiver* He had both those things! That was the scariest Halloween ever for Mommy and Adam. But he's going to be alright. We want to thank everyone for your prayers and POTP and purrayers and good thoughts and wishes. It all helped!

Riley: I will be super thankful next week when I get the stitches out of my ear and hopefully the ear wrap and the cone of honor removed. Right now I'm thankful for good food and my pack.

Chia: Mom has decided I'm way too thin and has started giving me more food. Yay! Thanks, Mom!

Xena: You oughta be thankful Mom even gives you food after you unstuffed Riley's bed and Mom's bed quilt and chewed up the zipper on Daddy's favorite fleece.
Chia: *Grrr*. You can't prove any of that!

Lucy: Girls, this seems like a good time to finish up our post with World Peace Day. I'll start. I think if everyone could just agree to disagree, and to accept each other's differences, there would be peace in the world.

Chia: Ummm, let me think...I know! If everyone played nice together, there would be peace. So, who wants to play with me?

Xena: I think life would be more peaceful if little sisters didn't bug their older sisters; if everyone was held and loved; and if everyone's tummies were full.

Riley: Peace be with you.

Lucy, Xena and Chia in unison: And also with you!
