Beatboxing and Hula-Hooping and Hospitals, Oh MY!

It's a hybrid video. It started as an update, sort of. Then it became a showcase for new talents.



So now you're up to speed on the hospital front and the beatboxing/hula-hooping fronts... aren't you glad?

Maren's knee has continued to improve, although the infection is not completely healed yet. If you're a pray-er, please pray toward that end. My normally laid-back approach to the scrapes and sicknesses of childhood is on vacation and I'm imagining her ending up back in a hospital bed. So maybe you could pray for me, too.

And here are three little non-sequiters to round things out in this scattered blog post:

1) Malcolm: "Papa! I can beatbox and box at the same time! Watch!" (Are you getting a visual?)

2) The kids had a fire drill today -- without the fire alarm. Why, you ask? "Because the fire alarm doesn't work." Hmmmm... going to have to ask the teacher about that.

3) Also from Malcolm: "You know what? I can do something that's very uncomfortable for 70 seconds. Wanna see?"
