Last Chance to Enter Contest

On my other site there's a contest for Lenox Wine Glasses.  Ends tonight.  Can't win if you don't enter.

Where All the Teachers At?

(yes, Katie, I did that to make you cringe.  HUGS!)

So on my other blog there's been a comment posted (anonymously) saying that you shouldn't teach preschool kids to read.  That it will just "happen on its own".

So all my teaching in-laws need to weigh in, because I didn't know there was any sort of controversy over WHETHER to teach children to read.  Unless one of you were the ones that posted the comment.  If so, you need to fess up :)  'Cause I care what you think, and I ain't gonna be mad! (I'm so excited to see you at Thanksgiving, Katie!)

OH!  And I changed the requirements to post on this blog.  You can do it without any sort of login.  So feel free to converse.

Outtakes of The Stockyard Photo Shoot

Even the bad pictures were pretty good.  Great photographer, and pretty kids.  I'd say "great" kids, but they were not really cooperative.  Claire wanted to take them all herself, and Luke just wanted to run - and it didn't matter where.
