Isn't it great! I paid $2.26 the other day (with the Walmart 3 cent off deal).

How ya doing?

Yesterday was hard...but good. Sunday night we watched Flight 93. I felt it was a really good portrayal of the story. It didn't have anything terribly graphic, though you got the idea people were killed or hurt. We allowed the boys to watch it.

I sat on the floor and shook through the entire movie...when it was over Joshua turned to me and said "Wow." in a really soft voice.

We also watched a small bit of the firefighter documentary...then yesterday we focused on the heroes and how ordinary Americans can be extraordinarily courageous.

Every year before this year, the boys just kinda tagged along with me...this year I really got the feeling they "got" it. They put their own enthusiasm into it.

They decorated the tin I put the firefighters cookies in with red white and blue paper and Joshua said "If I live to be 100, this is the best project I've every done."

I ended up just not watching. I saw a replay of the President's speech and posted the text on my blog. I also did a tribute on my blog to one of the WTC victims.
