Here’s the proverbial video in your blog. Presenting my daughter Jasmine, doing her practice routine on our bed. She’s just having fun in front of the camera.
I wanted to try out this really cool plug-in for WordPress that allows very high quality, but small file size video posting to a blog post. Pretty cool huh?

I read a very inspirational devotional today that applies very well to our family, especially Lucy and I. We consider ourselves "diamonds in rough" of sort for various reasons. And when we say "diamonds" we are not talking about our view of ourselves, but the view of God for us. Furthermore, when we say "rough" we are talking about our perception by society in general.
Before Lucy & I go to the doctor about Kari, we thought we might do a little research about what is happenning with her left eye. It has increasingly showing signs of crossing inward and we are getting concerned. It seems that she might have amblyopia (lazy eye) in this eye.

"Many, many years ago in Russia, there lived a girl named Vasalisa. She lived alone with her mother on the outskirts of the forest. Even though they didn’t have a lot of money, they lived quite well."

The drive south from Maryland– toward home from our Christmas vacation– was easy! What of a big comparison to our drive north, before the holiday. Then it took us 12 hours, yuck…. But now we are home with a challenge for how to organize all the new toys.
Here are some very recent pictures (less than an hour ago) of our Christmas tree decoration event. Paul did most of the decorating:
While Kariann & Jasmine watched from a distance, smiling for me and the camera:
Our resident artist Jasmine wanted to help "Grandpa Paul" with the decorations:
So when does it take 13 hours to travel only 360 miles? When you are travelling from North Carolina to Maryland and you have to drive through Washington D.C.
For an early Christmas celebration my daughters recieved "Care Bears, Lets have a Ball" and "Let’s Ride! Coral Club".
