Singing Career?

Cole loves playing in his walker these days. There's a makeshift microphone attached! Watch out, Uncle Mike!

In other news, I was doing some research about pretzels for the first elementary chapel coming up tomorrow, since we're doing a study of the Lord's Prayer and the origin of pretzels is connected with prayer. I found out that around 610 A.D., European monks used leftover bread dough and formed it into what we now know as the pretzel shape to represent children's crossed arms while praying. The monks gave this pretiola (Latin for "little reward") to children for memorizing Bible verses and prayers.

Last thing. I also discovered that Cole's doctor, Dr. Stein, has her own website that is pretty cool. She speaks Hebrew! Who knew?
