Yeah! PS I thought of you the other day. We were at a state park and I heard a couple calling their little boy, probably about 2, Eman. I'm not sure how it was spelled obviously, but it was sure pronounced the way I think you pronounce it. Maybe you've shard it before, but I wandered what nationality the name was? I don't think English was their first language by their accents, so I was just curious. When's moving day?
"I just need to feed my cat." Kai's response to me and Jasper when we called him over to us. (FYI we don't have a cat.)
"Ah, that feels lovely." Kai as he warms his hands under the rotisserie chicken heat lamps at the grocery store.
Favorite words Varick says: "He's cute," to Eman.
We were having a little teaching moment about the word of wisdom over dinner tonight, and Kai learned that alcohol was not good for us. Afterwards we played a game, "What's good for you and what's not." Kai caught on quickly and asked us in return, "Is 'a phone call' good for you?" Sounds a lot alcohol, doesn't it?
Holly: Are you a monkey, Varick? Varick: I not a monkey! ...KAI's a monkey.
Jasper: Are you all done with your dinner? Kai: [cups his hand around his ear and waits a moment while listening] My body says it's all full.
After I finished what turned out to be a great vocal practice session at the piano, I walk out of the room to see Kai sitting at the table playing with some toy. As he's idling still playing, he says to me, "Mom: I love your beautiful voice." (AW!) I was so touched and it absolutely warmed my heart, so I went over and gave him a great big hug. After our hug and as we go back to doing whatever it is we were doing, he adds "but could you not sing so loud? It hurts my ears."
Career Highlight
For those of you who don't already know: Holly likes to sing. Below is a link to Holly singing "Danny Boy" for her grandmothers 80th birthday celebration. Below that is a link to Holly singing "Come Unto Him" from Handel's "Messiah".
Famous Mormons and what Mormons believe
For my friends out there who aren't Mormon and are a bit curious here's a cute little ditty about some famous ones and a couple notes about our beliefs.
