"We need to say 'Thank you' whenever possible, even if we are not able to reconcile the human creature's free will with the Maker's working out of the pattern. Thanks and praise are, I believe, some of the threads with which the pattern is woven." (Madeleine L'Engle, Two-Part Invention, p. 125)

Slugs and Bugs concert! What did you think of it? I just checked their page and there's going to be one in Lancaster in March!
It was fun. We hadn't listened to any S&B music before...I downloaded the newest album a few days before so the boys would be a little familiar with the music. They loved it and E has been singing the songs ever since. Steve and I found it a lot less annoying than we kind of anticipated...there were cute graphics/videos to go along with the songs, which helped Steve :) ...and they taught motions and such with some of the songs which was good for me to interact with Jude. And the music is growing on us, though it does stick in your head. Not my favorite kids' music, but I don't mind it.
