words of wisdom by Demetri Martin

One of my students gave me list of this comedian's "bits" today... I just had to share a couple.

"'Sort of' is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It's just a filler. Sort of. It doesn't really mean anything. Sort of. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after 'I love you,' or 'You're going to be fine,' or 'It's a boy.'"


"Some jokes are short and elegant, like mathematical proof or a midget in a ballgown."

Wow. Those are pretty funny! I hurried and wrote both of them down, though I think the 'Sort of' comment is the best. Can't wait to pass them along. Did I tell you about the dyslexic man who walked into a bra?

You forgot my Lee favorite: A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of pants. The bartender says, "Hey, Pirate--Why do you have a steering wheel sticking out of your pants?" The pirate says, "ARGH... It's driving me nuts!"

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
