Here are some more pictures.

Sorry this is blurry, but you can kind of see the bird after it
has hatched. I think I have two now.

Babies?

This is what happens when you have fertile finches! There really are seven eggs in the nest, but all you can see in this picture is six. I'll keep you informed on what happens - if they even survive.

Why Did I Get Married?

Amy and I went to see this funny Tyler Perry movie yesterday. I love Perry's movies - they make me laugh, they make me cry, and they seem so very realistic. People in his movies say exactly what any normal person wants to say, but doesn't quite have the nerve, leaving one with a rather satisfied feeling. Tyler Perry is a Christian but his characters are very flawed - they cuss, they drink, and they have extramarital relationships. The one great thing though is that there is always a good lesson embedded in the plot - redemption, forgiveness, and a great word for God.

Amy and I go to every Tyler Perry movie that comes out. We are in the minority in the audience, but that doesn't matter to us at all. The message is great and the movies are entertaining. I recommend them highly!

Life in the Slow Lane

Well, I was gone the last two days to a PLC Conference at the Disneyland Hotel - WOW - there were over 2,000 people in attendance. Lunch was interesting! They fed ALL of us. I didn't get to Disneyland, we decided to see a movie instead - Game Plan. It was super cute. The conference was great. When I left on Thursday morning I had no sub, but somehow the district dug one up, so I had a sub both days. What a relief! It's hard when they split a class. Everyone is already dressing up in Disneyland for Halloween. That is one thing very cool about Disneyland this time of the year. They go all out for Halloween. I love what they do with the flowers. Well off to never never land for me.
