Life is crazy sometimes. Crazy, and funny, and sad, and frustrating, and all together good. While many of you can appreciate life with little kids, I'm sure that most of you would just like to catch up with us. We all live so far away, that we miss the day to day happenings, and this is a small way of trying to keep everyone connected. We'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to post comments.

Because it was the right thing to do...

My brother likes to send me human interest stories because (1) I like them and (2) it shows that sometimes people do good things. This was the latest one he sent me:

These young women must have some pretty proud parents. They did what was right, and fair, and good-hearted, and if they were difficult children, then this made it all worth it. They did something nice simply because it made someone else feel good. And they didn't do it to be posted on U-Tube, or to have an article written about them, or to receive a round of applause, they did it just because.

It makes me feel good that there are still young people out there like this. And it's sad that I cried when I watched it. I think because we're so used to being bombarded with the assholes of humanity, that a simple act of kindness touches us (and the music montage didn't hurt either). So, I'll say it again, their parents must be so, so proud.
