Children See, Children Do

This video is pretty powerful. It really made me take a hard look at myself. It is worth watching, just to remember the importance of our example to our children.

Thanks to Stef Sarver, I think this will actually play here and you won't have to cut and paste the link. Now, if I could only change this hideous yellow, red and green layout without losing all of my links and stuff (tried a few times and lost things). Oh, mighty Goddesses of the internet with cute blogs, help me!!!

Letter From Grandma Looney

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted on the blog. We are getting ready to put our house up for sale, so the clutter magnet (a.k.a. the desk) had to go into the basement and be replaced by a beautiful, yet oh-so-useless, dining room table (since we eat in the kitchen in the breakfast nook area). Anyway, everytime I come downstairs to get on the computer, my dearest Abraham finds some way to cause trouble. Whether that be pooping on weird things (more to come later) or opening grape flavored Crystal Light, or rubbing a black ink pad on everything....the list goes on and on. So, computer time is drastically reduced.

But, I received a letter in the mail today from Doris (Grandma Looney) and I wanted to share it with you all. She also send pics that I'll try and get on later. Love you all!!!

To the friends and family of James and Shanti-

It is very hard to put into words what I really want to say. I don’t know you personally but this is one thing I do know. You are all truly wonderful and kind people, and truly a blessing from heaven above. Thank you all for your kindness and for your gift. My grandchildren had a wonderful Christmas. They were so happy to see their little sister and for her to see them and spend Christmas Day in Alabama. James and Shanti are wonderful people. We continue to tell all of our family and friends about them. I have adopted them into our family and now I have four more grandchildren. And we love them so much. We can’t wait to see them again. Once again, I want to say thank you and God bless each and every one of you for helping to make a dream come true. God put special people here on earth for a special reason. All of you are so very special. Thanks again from me, my son Ryan, and all of our kids. We love you all. God bless.

Doris Looney
