Our Family

The other night I told Finn that he should change his nickname from “Finnster Malone Big Apple Bagel” to “inFINNity” and sign his name with the infinity symbol.  I described how to draw the symbol.  He grabbed a pen and paper and drew it.  Then he expanded on the drawing and said, “If I draw these lines, then it looks like DNA.”

Here is the drawing:

I asked him where he learned what DNA looks like.  He said, “From a TV show.”  At least he is learning more than just how to get a girl when you are a teenager.

"Do you ever get the feeling that you want to tell everyone in the whole world that you love them?  I usually feel like that - kind of all soft in the tummy like milk."

Here are some photos from the bird feeder outside the kitchen window.  It was one of Lisa’s Christmas presents and her latest hobby.

her favorite - a tufted titmouse...she had to look it up in my Michigan bird book to learn his name
