expanding their horizons...

The boys now both have blogs...spencerlanium.com and sam i am - and Amazon wish lists. Everything is about ".com" to Spencer. He put a laptop on his wishlist!

Sam has discovered a love of music - standing in Borders for over an hour scanning various CD's and listening to R.E.M. and the music of Sufjan Stevens, Illinoise! He also discovered the music of Kd Lang - there's a fun kid story there we'll have to share sometime! Because of Sam, I may just finally get to listen to Coldplay!

I can't say that I'm a music freak yet, but someone in our church is starting up her blog on her non mainstream Christian artist favorites that could be a help.

Go to Cornerstone Community Church's Friends Page and check out JJ's A Meaningful Ruckus blog that will be an upcoming music related blog.

Love Sufjan!!! I'm anxiously awaiting his christmas box set.

I would recommend listening to a chrstian music podcast called "the bored-again Christian" for further recommendations: Half-Handed Cloud, Starflyer 59, Bill Mallonee, Violet Burning
