today i taught my kids about the vietnam lottery draft of 1969 and we played a game that simulated the draft. i drafted them by the month of their birthday rather than the actual date of their birthday like the real draft (12 slots is easier than 366). then we looked at their classification cards and decided who gets a deferment and who goes to 'nam. they were all surprised to realize that there is no draft today... everyone who is in the military today is there voluntarily. funny how juniors in high school don't understand the differences in today's war and vietnam. yeah, our war is sad, but at least people aren't forced to fight in it.
on a lighter note, avery's days are still pretty well consumed with diapering every two-legged (although sometimes she attempts four-legged) thing in the house. one night a few weeks ago, she tried to diaper tatum (although she's only 10 months old, she doesn't take anything off avery). since that didn't work, she laid on the floor and for probably 20 minutes worked on diapering herself. finally she stood up and was so proud of herself, she said "see, mama, tatum's diapers DO fit me". here's a picture of her conquest.

Hey! LOVE the blog and so glad you started one. I linked you to my blog links. Avery is a hoot! That is so fun about her at the game and wearing diapers! I subscribed to your blog email subscription and it works so now you don't have to do anything!!! Also, if you'll send me the link to the Godtube thing I'll help you figure out how to post it. I've only done that once with Chris Tomlin's video on utube but it worked. Anyway, love the blog and will be excited to get all the updates and new pictures of the kids. Have you decided on their party?
Welcome to the bloggy world. I look forward to getting to know you better.
