Happy Tuesday! Its yet another rainy day here in CT. Its supposed to continue the rest of the week too. Boo :( I'm ready for some sun and 70's! So I've come down with a cold. Another big BOO for that. I sure do take for granted being able to breath out of my nose and taste yummy food. Nora's seems to have it too, but not so bad. I hope the others are lucky enough not to get it. However, I'd much rather have this for a little bit than that nasty flu bug we got a few weeks back! For sure!

Not to much to report on, but since I was thinking about it, I thought I'd check in. Look at me! Two posts in one month!! Granted, this one is really boring, but hey, its a post.

I bought my first concordance this week. It is gigantic!! We were talking about them at Bible Study last week and I thought I'd like to get one. Its been fun looking up words and finding out what the original word is (in greek or hebrew) and its meaning. I think its going to be very helpful for some tricky verses, and some that don't seem so tricky. I was reading the verse that says, "don't let your heart be troubled..." and looked up the words 'heart' and 'troubled'. It was very interesting. Basically using some of the definitions and descriptions, it could be interpreted "don't let your thoughts and understanding be thrown into confusion" How much more powerful is that! The word 'heart' is so abstract, so it was really cool to see what the word (which I think was 'kardia' {sound familiar....cardio}) really meant in greek, what they would have been thinking of. Anyway, I think its cool :)

Oooh, some exciting news. Our children actually liked a new movie we introduced them to! Its a miracle in the VH family for sure!!! Every once in a while we'll have dinner and a movie. Jared and I try to introduce some movies we have that the kids haven't seen yet. Most of the time they sit through it pretty well (amidst Eben asking how much longer it is...), even laugh like they are enjoying it, but when we ask about it afterward, they say it was scary and they didn't like it. Oh boy. Whose kids are these?? You know Jared and I love movies! Anyway, now that you are sitting on the edge of your seat just longing to know what that special movie is, I shall end the suspense. The new favorite is none other that The Sword in the Stone. Yeah, I know - who would have thought... I can't figure those kids out :) But I sure do love them!!!

Enjoy the pics of our crazy little monkeys!! Two are from "touch a truck day" that the city puts on and the other two are from a walk we took the girls' baby dolls on. Aliza and Nora were SO excited about bringing them outside in their strollers. It was so sweet.
