I've been embarrassed to find myself with tears listening to the kindergarteners sing "O Canada" and play one fingered "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the piano at school assembly. Oh my!

I still have two left over from cousin camp, and we are having so much fun. They love to do all the things my husband does not like to do, like go swimming and play board games.Sometimes I really do think "old age" is the best time of life.
