I just uploaded a video of Davis singing and playing his guitar.  I especially love his hound-dog warble, so make sure to watch for that.

Happy Holidays to everyone visiting.  In anticipation of the flood of visitors who just couldn’t get enough news from our letter, Sheryl posted a whole bunch more pictures.  Check them out here.

I read this interesting article in Scientific American about the best way to encourage your kids to learn. For parents out there it’s worth the read:

A few weeks ago we went down to my parents house for the weekend.  As usual, the moment we got there Evan and Davis wanted to play with the toys my parents have.  Among other things, they pulled out the Legos and I recognized some of the pieces from one of my very favorite  childhood Christmas presents - a Lego spaceship.  Today I got the following email from my Dad:

Sheryl’s Dad emailed this comic to her. I’m not sure where it’s from, but it’s too appropriate not to share — just substitute “Evan and Davis” for “Marcus”.

Update: the comic strip is Cul De Sac by Richard Thompson
