Jeremy and the 'Sleepy B'
So Jeremy was drawing on the markerboard the other day and happened to doodle a horizontal line with two bubbles on it. He looked up, and said ‘Mom, look, it’s a sleepy B!’ Sure enough, Amy looked over and he’d drawn the letter B lying on it’s back. Jeremy added that next time, he wants to draw an ‘awake B’ too. Not sure where the creativity comes...

But instead of seeing Oscar de la Hoya punching away at Evander Holyfield, it’s your face on your TV screen. And instead of using a joystick or a wand to become a boxing champion, all you...

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: Christmas Concert... →
Sure, it’s a little late to be posting this, but (amazingly) Amy and I were able to get some tickets again this year… it was a great concert. To be honest, I didn’t even know that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir had their own website… now you know!
