Makes me sick...

Zoe and Addie are starting to explore the many facets of the 'new' playground...apparently swinging alone no longer is good enough, and they have upgraded to spinning. Afterwards, Jen demonstrates with a first hand view. I used to love to spin, now I feel nauseated just turning around once...slowly. I went on a teacup ride a few years back and realized that it I'm really close to being the embarrassed adult that stumbles off of amusement park rides and loses his lunch.

...sidenote: A few minutes after typing the above, Addie was sitting in my lap and did in fact lose her lunch on me...not from spinning, the video was taken yesterday, but apparently she has a fever that is going around...watch out!

Eyes of the Heart

Book Report (yes, I read a book):

This small book is a quick and informative read, written by Jean Bertrand Aristide during his time as president of Haiti in 2000. Aristide touches on Haiti's experience with 'globalization' and how it affects the poorest of the poor. I recommend that you get a copy and read it, let your inner optimist come out and pray that the world can change the path it is on.

Blogging, Twitter, and Facebook, OH MY!!

Ok, the internet age is insane...it will be amazing if the children coming up will have any real experiences or just virtual ones. I'm trying to untangle this web (no pun intended), to figure out how to make it all work without it being a giant hassle that doesn't last (like the giant hassle of journaling that I have failed at many times before). We'll see what happens, the good news is that Jen and I are the only ones reading this (I think.)
