Where in the world is Liberia?

I thought I would write a few lines, we are getting a bit of information every week. Slow but steady. We are waiting for paper work from Liberia.
So while we wait, we are staying busy with baseball, baseball and high school baseball. I love baseball so it is a lot of fun. Keeping the suburban full of gas, not to fun. It is hard to get to all the "boy's" games. Tonight Son #1 played and Son #2 played summer rec.

Princess's throat is really achy tonight, and when you do not take Tylenol, it gets to be a teary night.

It was a gorgeous day, no rain and lots of SUNSHINE!

Well here is some facts on Liberia:

Liberia is where some of the slaves from the United States settled.

Liberia is in Africa, on the west coast.
