Have you got your Hootcase packed?

We were sitting out on the patio eating lunch today, and LiAnne tells us that Peter Pan lives up in the sky. That is where Neverland is. (Can you tell what movie they watched last night?) So, she begins to explain how you can fly, and how Michael and Peter live in the house, but fly to Neverland. And about having your Hootcase packed to go. LiAnne can't pronounce her "s's" very well unless she really stops and thinks about it, so suitcase comes out Hootcase. Ok, when LiAnne tells the story it is just waaayyy toooo fuuuuny.

When Lancy was here in December, she brought her Hootcases, and then had to repack the hootcases in order to leave again in January.

Actually, both Taylor and LiAnne call them hootcases, and Richard and I have had some pretty good laughs over it.

It makes for some pretty interesting conversations around here when you stop and consider the speech problems of the three kids. LiAnne's is just a little kid that hasn't learned to pronounce all of her letters very well yet. Taylor's is from his cleft, and will take some real work to get over, and Janelle's is because she is going from Chinese to English, and she will, unfortunately, probably have a pronounced accent with her English. But it can be pretty funny.

On another note, we heard back from the doctors at Shriners yesterday, and Taylor is supposed to get brackets on his teeth right away. They apparently want to begin to move his front teeth around before they are ready to do his next surgery. They want to see him within a year, so we will probably need to make a trip to Portland at this end of this year, beginning of the next for him to see the doctors there. Janelle just got her's on earlier this month, so now we will have two in brackets. At least we can combine trips to the dentist and do two at once, so it will save me some trips (it is 45 minutes away in Tequisquiapan.)

Easter service tomorrow. I am fixing breakfast for 30-40 people for church. It will be a busy morning.

Ok, still no pictures, but I'll try to get some taken tomorrow.

HE IS RISEN!
