More Random Questions

So the other night at dinner, Isaac posed a burning question--how long would it take a sloth to walk around the earth? He really wanted to know. So we did a little research, made some assumptions (same speed over oceans, sloth does not die, sloth does not sleep, does not stop to eat, etc. . . .

And the answer is . . . 25 years.

America the Beautiful

Today Aspen and Isaac participated in the Veterans Day celebration program at their school. Isaac wore his cub scout uniform and was part of the honor guard escorting in the veterans that were attending. Aspen performed a musical number with sign language with her class. It was a very moving program.
I am so thankful for the many men and women who have served and who serve our country today. They make it possible for me to enjoy so many freedoms. They perform a priceless duty for me and all of us. We pray daily for those serving our country all over the world. Thank you.
