Facebook

I just started doing the Facebook thing. I'm still a newbie, but already it makes me wonder if I will continue blogging. It seems like Facebook is kind of taking over the whole blog thing. It may be too much work to do both. What do you think? Are you on facebook? Do you also blog? Do you plan to continue with both? Why or why not?

Prayer update

Just as an update to the last blog entry. Noah has done a 180 degree turn. Now he absolutely has to say every prayer. And if someone else says the prayer on the food or the family prayer, he has to say his own prayer for us immediately afterwards. He usually looks around the room and says "bless mom ..." while pointing to Mollee, "bless Izzy..." while pointing to Izzy, etc. Pretty cute.

The Choo-choo Prayer

Noah has a hard time with prayers. He doesn't even like to fold his arms, let alone say the prayer. So we were surprised last night after our family prayer when Noah said he wanted to try it. Normally, when we help him say the prayer we supply the first part and let him fill in the blanks. For example, Mollee will say "Help us ..." and Noah will say "... choose the right."

Noah must have had an agenda last night, however, because the prayer went something like this:
"We're thankful for ..." "... choo-choos."
"Please bless ..." "... choo-choos."
"Help us ..." "... choo-choos."
"In the name of ..." "...choo-choos, amen."

At least he's trying.
