Another good movie

By -
Kim and I watched "Extraordinary Measures" last night. It's about a family that has two children with Pompea Disease, which kills by the time they get to 9. The father just couldn't accept the death sentence pronounced by the Drs and decides to try to do something about it. The father is not a Dr, but still is tenacious in finding something to help his children. It is a true story and a great reminder of what people on a mission that just won't give up, are able to do. (It reminds me that way, of Cambrie!)
I would highly recommend it. It makes me wonder though, how many things I could have done that I gave up on.

If you're the less serious type, Erica and I have watched a couple of movies on Netflix...

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs - Decent movie. Had a few spots that made us both laugh. Not Monsters Inc or Cars quality though.

Night at the Museum : Smithsonian - We didn't like it. A lot more "slapstick" than I anticipated.

FYI the movie Marilyn talks about stars Harrison Ford and Brandon Frazier. Interesting movies you picked Chad. I'm just the opposite of you. I didn't like Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs at all but I thought Night at the Museum: Smithsonian was decent entertainment. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (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...
