Growing up Catholic

Brad and I are proud to be raising the girls Catholic and moments like we experienced at dinner tonight add to it.  We were nearly finished eating and Eleanor started humming and asked us to guess what she was humming.  I had no idea and was thinking of the Disney shows we watched earlier in the day.  Brad didn't know either.  She finished humming and then sung out loud "Lasagna in the Highest."  Huh? we asked.  "Lasagna in the Highest, from Church," she said.  Right on tune, she sang about the Italian casserole we all know and love.  The video below has the real version from a Mass in Ohio.



Brad thinks we should tell her.  I figure she'll figure it out in due time. I am just so darn proud she is paying attention.


 

Unplugged

We met some friends at Blumenhof Winery today and took the girls.  It was a beautiful day and we knew they would have fun.  It just took them a while to figure out what fun looks like without stuff or screens.  Eventually they danced, played in the woods and, my favorite, rolled down the hill.  Nothing like a little unplugged fun to really feel like a kid!  I love that this is a universal childhood experience.  No one had to show them how to do it, they just did it.  Eventually they were even joined by some adults (no, not us!)
