Outtakes

I've been too busy to post, but I do have these few random notes to offer:

Samson has started calling me "Dad" --- as opposed to "Daddy." Not all the time, but with some frequency, and it kind of makes him sound grown up.

Last night we were reading a book about the orchestra, and when we got to the page with the trumpet player, Samson asked me: "Does she have God in her heart?" Clearly, someone is paying attention during chapel.

Someone is also paying attention during the mornings at school. We haven't had a normal grace in two weeks now. Instead, we get the "Pledge of Urleejuns." That said, he knows the whole thing, and it lends dinner a kind of VFW Hall/Potluck feel. So everybody wins.
