Hannah’s Primary Talk

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 | By Amy

Hannah’s Primary Talk 9/28/08
Rob asked Hannah some questions about prayer and wrote down her answers.  This was the talk she gave in primary.  It was very cute and fun to watch.
Today my talk is about saying prayers.
When you say your prayers you fold your arms and close your eyes so you can be reverent.
In my [...]


What Does This Mean?

Monday, September 29th, 2008 | By Amy

On Sunday morning I discovered that someone had removed a bumper sticker from the back window of my mini van while it was parked in my driveway. Rude!
Considering what it was for, I started thinking about the type of person that might do this. It read “Restore Marriage, Yes on 8.” So the person that [...]


Many Thanks

Thanks to Auntie Korby who sent the kids an Unbirthday package in the mail.  We opened it yesterday!

Saturday, September 27th, 2008 | By Amy

I have had my fill of most reality shows.  I stopped watching Dr. Phil years ago because it was just too sad to see all of the messed up families and individuals on the show.  And last time I saw part of Wife Swap it was all about creating conflict and peeking in on dysfunctional [...]


My Little Ones

“Hannah”
“Oh”
“How is your school?…. Oh, I just playing Barbies with Mommy… Have fun time, I love you… bye!”

Earlier today, the [...]


Protecting Marriage to Protect Children

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 | By Amy

This article written by David Blankenhorn (a democrat, by the way) appeared in the New York Times. I meant to just copy over the best points, but the whole thing is great, so most of it is here:
In all societies, marriage shapes the rights and obligations of parenthood…
…marriage is a gift that society bestows on [...]


Entitlement

Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | By Amy

So, did you hear about the government bailout of AIG?  I’m no economist, and don’t know much about Wall Street, but even I could see this disaster coming. My theory is that it all has to do with the pervasive feeling of entitlement in our country.  I am a part of it too, thinking [...]

Going back in time a little: Rob put together this slideshow from the pictures off our camera and my dad’s.  I just love it!
