We went to Trinity yesterday for the Family Christmas Eve service. When it was time for the sermon, Father Mark called all the children to sit on the steps with him in the front of the church. We persuaded Link to go up there too. Father Mark started out by asking the children about the [...]

We went to Janice and Robin’s house for Thanksgiving. Sarra: Does Link know where the bathroom is? Alex: I was just in there. The toilet wasn’t flushed, there was pee all over the back and the water was running in the sink. I’d say he found it.

Link’s teacher asked us to bring in a family portrait for this week’s lesson. Ever the obedient parent, I set the timer on the camera and took a couple snapshots. Link also brought home a picture he drew of his family. It’s actually recognizable as people. I don’t know how much help he had, but [...]
