Hagen is walking!!
Well, he has actually been walking for quite some time. I think he took his first steps around 12 months....2 months earlier than Liska. Not that I was making any comparisons or constantly telling him that if he was a real man, he would walk earlier than his sister. It just happened purely organically. :-)
The real news today is that the unbelievably amazing Liska Knight swam with her floaties today! Ever since she almost drowned a couple years ago and Greg Brown sacrificed his margarita, dropping it as he ran to the kiddie pool to drag her out, she has been a bit paranoid about the water. BUT, today she finally gave in to the peer pressure (Hagen has been swimming with only his floaties for a week) and got into the pool for her first maiden voyage. It was a thing of beauty. If we had pictures, I would show them to you...maybe tomorrow. Until then, you will have to suffice with the amazingingly cute video (yes, video...a major treat, I know) of Liska and Kat planting a sweet potato in a pot in the backyard...side note, is that she got the sweet potato from her last day at summer school...which is ok, but the last day of summer schoool signaled the first day of VBS...Vacation Bible School. From the name of that, I am certain that those who know me understand that I was LIVID when I heard that Kat had set Liska up in anything that included the word "Bible" in it or anything that was at all religious. My goal for my daughter is that she will be old enough when she is exposed to religion to come to her own conclusions rather than being brain-washed as a young person into believing that a carpenter from back in the day was the son of God, etc. etc. If she decided to have faith in that later on, so be it. But, I don't want it to be unfairly pushed on her by adults when she is a young child.
Man, that was a tangent. What a jackass. ;-)
Anywho, enjoy the video. EDITORS NOTE...COULD NOT GET VIDEO TO UPLOAD..WILL CONTINUE TO TRY, BUT I AM NOT EQUIPPED FOR SUCH HIGH TECH WORK AROUNDS. :-)
Much love to all!

Hmmm...methinks thou dost protest too much...
I hear your protests against Bible school, and what I think is this:
You are secretly a Bible thumping evangelist! Kind of like that Colorado minister railing against homosexuals, and secretly enjoying their company. Well, sort of like that, anyway!
It's OK, let it all out! You're in the Bible belt now, gosh darn it, it's safe! :)
Yours in Christ and E Pluribus Unum,
Denise
