My sweet Dustin



I don't know if anyone caught Idol last Wednesday, but it was amazing.  They did a preview of "Idol gives back" and they shared a story about two African, orphan, sisters who were reunited.  They truly had nothing but each other, and that was enough for them.  It made Justin and I realize  how spoiled our Children are, and how we need to teach them to be more grateful for the things they have, and get over the things they don't have.  So... the next day Dustin is playing with his Star-wars toys and telling me how he needs a Stormtrooper.  I start explaining to him how lucky he is to have so many toys and that some kids have no house or food, let-a-lone toys.  Dustin then asks, "what about their parents, why don't they buy them things?"  I told Dustin that some kids don't have parents.  Then Dustin said this (get ready, it melts your heart), " Why don't the kids be in our family, we can share our things with them?"  So sweet!!!!!!  I love my Dustin soooooo much.

Hi Justin and Natalie,
I am so excited that you have a blog and we can keep in contact through blogging:) Your children are darling and what a sweet boy Dustin is. How cute that he wants the children to come to your family. I watched American Idol when the sisters reunited and it was amazing. Dustin is so thoughtful and what a sweet boy.

NATALIE! I am so bummed I couldn't hang out. There was so much family stuff going on. And the Disneyland pictures on my blog were from a long time ago. I didn't take any pic's this time. I am very sad that we didn't go to Robertson BLVD in LA and dress up like Kate Beckinsale and Kathryn Heigl. We could have gotten the poperazzi to follow us for sure! Next time....for real!
