The newest Citizen




My mom recently became the newest citizen of the United States. She was born in Canada and has been living here as a resident alien for almost 23 years. She has now taken the oath of citizenship and is a member of the USA. Luke, Kade, my dad and I went to the ceremony and it was really neat. Congrats Mom!!

the Ghost of the Mortuary


A few days ago Luke was at school, Kade was taking a nap in his crib, and I was reading in our bedroom. I began to hear music and assumed it was from the mortuary office a few rooms away. I continued to hear it and walked into our family room to discover that a cd was playing on the radio. I turned it off and went back to reading.


Early Sunday morning I woke up around 2:30am to find the cd player on, this time on track 7 which means it had been going for a while. It must be a ghost. . . . . . .or,


Kade loves to touch all the buttons on the stereo and I have now discovered that there is a timer function that allows you to set it so that the cd player will come on some time in the future. I have never used the timer, but apparently Kaden has figured out how to do it :)

Free Rice!

Someone at work showed me this great website where you can do vocabulary quizzes or quizzes on a variety of subjects. Not only is it a fun game, you are also donating 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. So happy learning and happy rice donation!
