Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who danced to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And, if i don't throw them in they will die." "But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!" The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."
Justice is not quite ready to start potty training. It took a couple of days to get him use to underwear. Now he just likes to run around naked. We'll get there...
I knew you'd cave. You'll love having a blog - it's a great way to keep a family journal. I'm glad you explained who that child was (Halloween pics). I was so confused when you emailed pics! Justice is a very convincing girl. Sounds like things are going well for you guys!
I really dont lke the potty training stage. It was such a battle trying to get Railynn potty trained...especially since she was at day care most of time. Good luck!!
Hey, Tera! Just wanted to tell you that you did a great job on your blog! I like the list of classes you have to take and Dave's Graduation Countdown. Nice touches! =)

I thought that this was hope, till I enlarged the pic and saw Thomas. He's a funny kid, I love his hair.
Gramma says all things in time----HIS time. If he knew the whole world was watching he might go a little faster.
