Somewhere Beyond the Barn

Anna just before her kindergarten visit

Grandwoman's visit


I've noticed a new phenomenon happening with our little Rosie lately.  She loves the Veggie Tale's movie The Wizard of Has, a Veggie portrayal of the story of the Prodigal Son following the pattern of the old classic, The Wizard of Oz.  
Well, at the end of the movie the little hero "Darby" goes back home to his dad on the dental floss farm and his Dad runs to greet him, hugging and lavishing love on him- even to the extent of renting a bouncy castle and jumping in it together with his runaway son who had come home.  During this part of the movie, and long after it, our little girl just bawls her eyes out.  She literally walks around the house singing the songs and crying to herself.  I think her sweet heart is so struck by the magic of that story, the love that our Father has for us, and it melts her heart.  
In the words of Andrew Peterson, "A thing resounds when it rings true, ringing all the bells inside of you."  
This story resounds with you sweet Norah, and we just happened to catch it on video!
