Hank Repeats Sounds

It's wishful thinking to claim that Hank is actually saying "da-da," but that fact that this kid is repeating sounds makes this mama happy!

The video is long, but around the 45 second mark he does a great job. Also Scott and I think it is hilarious when he moves his mouth but nothing comes out (around the 1:25 mark).

And please excuse my obnoxious "da-da-da-da's" heard consistently throughout the video.

Oh Hey, O!

The Gary Chapman 5 Love Languages saga continues...

Remember when Scott and I read The 5 Love Languages (here)...
and then we went to a Gary Chapman conference (here)...
and then we were taped for a video for his website (here)...

well it doesn't stop there, folks! Oh yah, our my secret very public fascination with Mr. Chapman and The Five Love Languages grew monumental proportions last week when Scott and I headed to Chicago to watch Oprah interview GC about his bestselling book for her new show, Oprah's Lifeclass. It was, as expected, an amazing experience. I mean Oprah is kind of a big deal, right? Admittedly, I did get sucked into the worship-culture that surrounds the woman (people were crying when she walked in the room.), and both Scott and I were disappointed that GC failed to mention any scriptures or biblical teachings from which the 5LLs were birthed. Sad.

BUT, the Hubster and I did enjoy some quality time together on the drive to Chicago (we started reading Mark Driscoll's Real Marriage). Hank stayed behind in Indy with Grandpa John and Grandma Jenny for an entire 12 hours. Baby steps, people. So, all in all, I'm going to chalk this one up as a win.

Speaking of chalkin' it up, when I asked told Scott we were going to be a part of the Oprah audience, I said that he could "chalk this one up as a nice favor for his wifey." He kindly informed me that that particular chalkboard had no more room for any more marks. #roo
