It's Shark WeekOur family has always had this thing about shark week on the Discovery Channel. Last year we tuned in as usual, but the almost-two member of the family was facinated. He had just learned what a fish was. He could sign the words fish and whale - but to see them on the big screen was fascinating. Drew loved the sharks. All year long he's visited fish. It's nice when they're two - a trip to Pets-mart fish department is like Sea World to him. He's been to Shark Reef (twice), Bass Pro Shop (a lot), Monterey Bay Aquarium, Drew loves fish.
On a trip earlier in the year (see Cruzin through April), I grabbed matching t-shirts for Grandpa and Drew to watch Shark Week together. Drew insisted they wear them backwards because the sharks were on the back and he wanted to see them on the front. Jenn happened to be in Southern California and at Sea World the beginning of the week, so she brought home a new stuffed shark for Drew. Drew's had a great week. More tv-viewing that his mother would ever let him have at his house, he's seen jumping great whites, scuba divers, tiger sharks, sand sharks, reef sharks. I think it's time for a trip to Sea World for Drew :)
Matt calls this Charlie's Aunt Jamima look. I'm trying really hard to get a 'good' picture of her. She's all smiles and giggles till the camera comes out. Ashley did take Charlie to a portrait studio and they were successful in creating a beautiful shot.Rebekah has been busy. She teaches swim lessons at a private school every morning, but also decided to advertise for private lessons. She's now filled up all her afternoon hours teaching private lessons. That's pretty cool that she has this talent and certification.
I've been at inservice lessons every morning this week. I'm excited to spend a year with the Old Testament, I just wish they didn't call it early-morning seminary.

Thanks for having Drew over for shark week. He had a great time. He still prays for Grandma and Sharks. Thanks for all you do Kim.
Here in Tucson there has been a circulation of the latest blog entry from ex-Wildcat Gilbert Arenus who shared about shark week. Thought it was appropriate:
"There are these things called shark attacks, but there is no such thing as a shark attack. I have never seen a real shark attack.
I know you’re making a weird face as you’re reading this. OK people, a shark attack is not what we see on TV and what people portray it as.
We’re humans. We live on land.
Sharks live in water.
So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is not a shark attack.
A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack. Now, if you’re chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack."
