The noggin generation...and a brag on the hubsters

The girls and I were reading about the Tower of Babel this morning, and I was trying to explain to them the concept of the people speaking different languages all of a sudden and how frustrating that would have been...

Me: Think of it this way...If I just all of a sudden started speaking to you in Spanish and you didn't understand anything I was telling you, what would you do?
Abby: I would have to watch a LOT of Dora shows so I could understand you again.
I must brag on my dear hubby a little bit today. We received word yesterday that Jay received his tenure promotion. He went up for tenure a year earlier than usual, and since he had a pretty loaded packet, he passed through the University's screening system with ease. We are indeed very thankful for the job that Jay has...not only does he do a great job, but he loves it. He works hard at his job, but he also makes a special point to spend as much time with his family as he can, and as his wife, I am especially thankful for this desire in him. He's a wonderful man...and I love him dearly and am so thankful for him.
