Light the Fire!

Today, as we were driving to school, there was a controlled fire by the side of the road. Here's the conversation:

Joel: Mommy, where does the smoke go?
Me: It goes up and around and just about everywhere!
Joel: Smoke can do anything. Just like Jesus.

Priceless.

Thank you God for sending angels like Gina Cooke who have given Joel a voice! For many months, I thought these moments would never come. Joel's progress is a miracle!

Now, if we can just get him to stop telling Ms. Cooke "NO" at school, that would rock.

That Thing You Do

This idea is from Jan's blog:

The idea: create a fake band and their first album. Here’s how it works:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Editor’s note: Make sure that the image is properly licensed for remixing or derivative works.

Here's how mine turned out. :)
