For those of you who have not yet experienced it, our children love to show off for the webcam. There must be some sort of freedom in relieving yourself of your clothes and dancing around the center of a room while having close family spy on you (thanks to your parents).
The webcam has really allowed us to share our joyous eveninings with others, the only downside is that others don't all have webcams. There is a certain discripancy in that others can see us, but we cannot see them. That is an unfairness that we strongly urge our friends and families to remedy as soon as possible [hint-hint].
This evening, our children danced. Despite the lack of a live webcam, they danced like mad-women. They danced with reckless abandon. They danced. What I mean when I say they danced is that they ran around the room in circles. For a small change, they grabbed Ang's and my hands and made us dance in a circle with them ring-around-the-rosy style. It was delightful.
Coming soon: our new website. The name will be different, and so will the look, but it will be back. Solace will be one of its links.
See you soon?

Singing and Swinging
Ok, so today is absolutely Gorgeous! and the Becksfort Ladies are taking full advantage. We got up this morning and were at the park by 10 am. It was fabulous, Teresa and Darian went with us and we spent 2 hours sliding and swinging.
Cute report of the day... Jilli had apparently forgotten that she is brave enough to climb the big playset all by herself, so Ali held her hand the first time through and walked her all the way to the slide. It was adorable. Ali was so encouraging "good job Jilli", "come on Jilli". Ahhh, a mother's dream. After that Jilli was fine.
The swings were also a grand old time. We sat and swung very gently in the big girl swings for the first time, but we still spent most of the time flying high on the toddler swings. We had been swinging for a few minutes and I was talking to Teresa when I realized the chatter coming from my ladies was not really chatter. Ali was singing. Singing her own little tune that she was making up as she went. It was a sweet song, with not too many real words. But anyone who grew up within ear shot of Jason West knew the smile that came to my face. The joy that makes a child sing....
