"Dad, there's something I need right now," begged Lilly. "Me too!" implored Zsofia, Bailey, Opal and Diva. "We all need tummy rubs before breakfast this morning! And you need a whole bunch of love from us," they all exclaimed.

"Oh kids, you mean so much to me. I really couldn't go on without you. I know that's why Momma brought all of you home so that we could always be surrounded by love. Giving you tummy rubs is relaxing and calming me so that I can go out and face the day. The schedule today will be a little different because I'm taking the car in for its yearly checkup. I'll leave from work, but will be back before you know it. I'll have a surprise for you, too - Colette's sons, Sam and Andy, want to meet you, so you'll have some visitors from Atlanta. Sam loves our car, and wants to make sure that the new repair shop will take good care of it, so he and Andy are meeting me at the repair shop. He's a mechanic and is very good at car repair."

"Woo hoo! We can't wait. We love when you bring friends over," said Zsofia as she jumped into my lap.
