Caleb, what do you like best about Christmas? “Christmas songs, especially Jingle Bells!” Is Santa Claus a “geezer”? “Yep, he is the oldest geezer of all!” Amy, what do you like about Christmas? “Milk and cookies.” Are you going to leave milk and cookies out for Santa to enjoy? “No, I will eat them all!” |
Caleb got an ant farm for his birthday. We started out by planting ant seeds, so tiny they were barely visible. We needed tweezers.
But after letting the back forty go fallow, then fertilizing the furrows of formicidae frequently, and harrowing and watering, we’re finally pulling in a thousand bushels an acre. Unfortunately ant bellies aren’t a very lucrative commodity.
All the sixth-graders from Sara’s school went to Camp Killoqua for three days of outdoors-focused curriculum such as orienteering and archery.
Sara excelled at her classes, while her father was informed that if he dialed back a notch in the violence towards cabins full of sixth grade boys department, that would be terrific.
Caleb went on a campout with his dad and the Hi-Lakers. He got to do some fishing, some canoeing,
help with camp cooking, and he had a great time making new friends.
Our family vacation included a week with friends in the Cascades of Oregon.
This included a day trip to Crater Lake National Park. The water was so blue it could out-guitar Stevie Ray Vaughan, and
the clouds were so puffy they could... uhmmm... out-hip-hop P. Diddy.
Uncle Randy finally landed his catch of a lifetime;
the extended family gathered in Oregon to see who was
gullible enough prepared to become a Clark.
Ring-bearer Caleb did have trouble focusing on the ceremony.
Sara ensures that the Clark family is always in the vicinity of music.
Whether Sara is tickling the ivories downstairs or at a recital, or sawin’ that fiddle1 in the back yard, music is always floating through the air near the Clark household.
1The use of the phrase “sawin’ that fiddle” should not be construed to imply that Sara’s viola is actually a violin, nor that the musical genres played by Sara bear any resemblance to any musical styling suggested by the phrase.
With dudes, it’s easy to distinguish between someone and his evil parallel universe doppelgänger: the evil one has a goatee. But with chicks it’s tougher.
And when it’s a Wii mii that just makes it extra difficult.
Which mii is the evil parallel universe Liisa?
And, perhaps more important, which Liisa corresponds to the real-world Lisa we all know and love?
