Zoei Toh and Charlie
April 27, 2008 – 8:34 pm
I was introduced to the Zoei Toh videos by my father-in-law. I was very impressed with this 3 year old’s ability to remember the words to the songs and be able to carry a tune. She is absolutely adorable! Notice that there are several songs included in the video box below. Some are in English [...]
Turn Left
April 25, 2008 – 8:04 pm
The other day while sitting at a red light, I told the kids we had to turn left. Here is how my conversation went with Peter: Peter: Mom, which way is left. me: You’ll see when we turn. Which way do you think it is? Peter: It’s the way we will turn. me: Well, which [...]
Kind Directions
April 24, 2008 – 11:03 pm
Today while looking for a library I had only been to once, I stopped at a gas station to ask for directions. You know, one of those stations that only has a small cube of a store with a mechanic sitting at the counter. The man wasn’t sure he was giving me the correct directions, [...]
Two or More

I got a forward today that was actually cute enough to share. I decided to share it here. Here is what the forward said: Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Does this count? By the way, it is amazing [...]

My kids have been watching Blue’s Clues on occasion for several years now. If you are not familiar with Blue’s Clues and/or have no idea what it is, this video tells a little about how it got started and this one tells about the change of hosts from Steve to Joe. This is what Anna [...]
The Dealer
April 4, 2008 – 9:12 pm
I discovered tonight that my husband knows how to win with style. While playing Risk tonight, my best move at one point would have been to attack Anna and remove her from the game. The only problem is that I could not bring myself to put her out of the game. Then for Luke’s turn, [...]
Luke's Monologue
April 3, 2008 – 7:13 pm
That title almost sounds Biblical. Anyway, here is Luke’s monologue to 3 month old Candice. “You like me talking to you don’t you? Look at that smile! I used to talk to your big sister like this when she your age. I would talk to her for hours after work every day. That is why [...]
Arm & Hammer
April 1, 2008 – 10:43 pm
Today I was inspired to go back to my old detergent after trying a different brand. I guess store brand doesn’t always cut it! I even wrote words to a song based on the song Rubber Duckie. Go ahead! Open the song in a new tab and listen to the tune for Rubber Duckie while [...]
