Amish Paparazzi

Since they preferred not to have their pictures taken, I respectfully took them from farther away with the zoom lens...

WeeHands

Joy and I teaching a WeeHands baby sign language class. We use songs and ASL signs to help hearing parents communicate with their babies in the early years. We've just started but already the hearing people we've met are showing a great appreciation for ASL. We hope that people will get so excited about signing that they go on to take classes and maybe we'll even spark some interest in future interpreters!

Talia walked out of Nona's house and said "There's a talking chicken!" I immediately thought the red neck neighbors were either doing something weird or had rented a giant chicken for the kids to use. Nothing. Finally we heard the talking chicken...it was a squirrel fussing at Nona's cat. They are loud little creatures, and they do sound like a chicken!

Talia said, "I want a kiss." Isabella knew exactly what she wanted and puckered up. Earlier that evening at Grandma's house, Talia said "She's my baby..." Elias responded "She's MY baby." Talia said, "Can we share?" He agreed....
