Marilyn wanted me to post this video. I've seen this on the news, on the internet and many people are talking about it. It makes me sad that this has happened actually. If this woman was young and pretty, nobody would be talking about it. Yes, it was a great performance but there are many, many great performers out there that don't get this type of attention. Why? Because people took one look at her and set their expectations before hearing her. That's sad. Good for her though. Good for her.

Thanks honey!

(I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
