Day 750 -- Kid Media Messages

I am thankful for the three pieces of media I received regarding my children today.

Exhibit 1:  Breslin on the Warner Elementary Morning Announcements

Breslin read for the announcements on camera today and my mother-in-law was kind enough to send me the link.  My heart swelled with pride at his sweetness, especially at around 2 minutes and 20 seconds in. :)


 Exhibit 2: Dharia at Mimo's House

Dharia is spending the night with my aunt, her Mimo, tonight. She has been excited about this all week. Even though I left her in tears this afternoon, when I asked my aunt how my Lou Lou was doing, she said "great" and send me a picture of her being a goof.

Exhibit 3: AJ at Great Grandmommy's House in Great Grandpa's Lap

AJ is spending the night with my grandmommy -- her great grandmommy. After we dropped her off, we received this adorable picture of her cuddled up with my grandpa -- her great grandpa -- reading books in the rocker.

All of these media messages brought me great joy today. I was so thankful for the bright spot they brought to my day and for the people in my life who made them possible.

Thank God for Kid Media Messages!

 Lord, thank you for all of these cool events my kids were a part of today that I still got to experience via media messages. Thank you for all of the special people in my life who made sure I saw them. In your name I pray, Amen.

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.

Day 80 -- Calvin and Hobbes

Image
When I was in junior high and high school, I used to read the anthologies of several comic strips, including Garfield, Fox Trot, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes.  I remember reading them by the light of my bedside lamp, trying to stifle my giggles so that my parents wouldn't come bust me for staying up too late reading (the horror!). Calvin and Hobbes, especially, resonated with my sense of humor.  I found the strip simultaneously witty, funny, thought-provoking and perceptive.  I collected all of the anthologies, but somewhere between then and now, I either lost them or gave them away.  I told my husband about my tendency to read them from cover to cover, and how I was sad that I no longer had them.  Not too surprisingly, for Christmas, I received The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book from Santa. I have been slowly working my way through the book, and tonight I was reminded of Calvin's finicky eating habits and of his gift for creating macabre snowman art.  I w
