In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...
So the Good Reverend and I went to the Knoxville Zoo with all of the King family. It was loads of fun. Here we are with little Ellie and Anna Kate. They are both 2 and a half. SO CUTE. I never know what to do with kids. I never know what to say to them. I want to talk with them like they are 24 years old, but they are not, and I get worried that I am not saying the right things or am being really uncool. But with Ellie and Anna Kate, I do not have to worry about that. We are friends and they think I'm cool. Ellie calls me Em-a-lee and to Anna Kate I am Emiwee. Elizabeth is 4 and she is a genius. I really think she is smarter than me. I mean, this little girl recites the books of the Old Testament at the dinner table. She was recently learning the Minor Prophets.
This is the Good Reverend and I with the zebras in honor of Kenya and the zebras there. He is such a good sport. I tried not to be one of "those people" and talk about how the last time I saw elephants, giraffe, zebra, etc. I saw them in the wild in Africa. I slipped a few times, but I tried not to be a jerk. I think he understood. But I still think its really cool how the last time I saw any of those animals they were in their natural environment...
The End....

You are so one of those people. "I'm, like, part African," said Emily.
You're such a jerk.
I don't think Jack does understand...I think he's hurt by your African remarks.
He made a comment to me one time...something about "dating an African-American"... ??
You're SO black at heart. I mean you might as well move to the guetto. The "African" guetto that is.
Who cares if Jack doesn't understand. At least Nicole does.
um Jode...you're the one who wanted to name your kid Mercedes.
Nicole always understands. Whenever I complain to her, she just sings "Redeemer" to me and it lulls me to sleep.
It was going to be her MIDDLE name, not first... and who knows!? I still might do it if i have a second girl!!! :o) I love that name!
Good ol' Niki. She's the best. She always understands.
Nicole is having a mini-concert before a birmingham barons (minor league baseball) game soon. I just heard that on the radio.
Black at heart? Hardly. Black in da bootie.
Osh I am so coming to B'ham for that concert. Mini or not, I'm there. Nicole will call me to invite me personally though.
Em, she hasn't called you yet? Ummm... she called me like 5 months ago and told me about it. But I told her i prolly can't make it... cause of the baby and all. She said that's fine... she understood... she said something about sending my baby a gift or something.
Of course she's called me! She called to ask me about your baby and what you might like. I told her to buy you a pony and that you would probably like some props at her next concert.
