BEAUTIFUL!



We had a great time in Colorado! It was an extremely long drive, but totally worth it. Garden of the Gods was great. We were dissappointed not to be able to eat at Molicas. They closed before we got out of class :(My parents(bless their souls) kept the boys while we were gone. Wil got sick Friday night and was sick the WHOLE weekend. They did get to see auntie ally and unc jay(as Jack would say!) We left early Sunday in order to save my mom from having an ill kiddo. Which she got mad about! BY the time we got to her house she had the bug!!! I feel so BAD!

Taking Notice


I've notice a lot lately about the cyber world. People are going to unknown worlds with this stuff... I'm all about blogging, my-space,face-book,e-mails,flickr and some chats. It does however need to be done appropriately. It's been taken' to a new extreme. Some people are putting things on that could ruin their jobs, friendships,or even their lives as they know it. I am amazed that freedom of speech has gone this far. When you bash other people on the internet for all to see, that's a little harsh! In my opinion it just makes you look petty and self absorbed. Maybe that's just my take on it. I would like to know what people would do if their blogging got them fired, or kept them from being promoted, or better yet kept them from getting a job?!? I think as people we need to start taking a look at what we put out there for everyone to see and read. I sometimes think as humans we crave to much attention and communication. It hinders our ability to reason correctly. It hinders our inter-growth.
it makes us flat people instead of 3 dimensional. Again, this is merely my opinion on the subject. I am not a professional in this matter. This can not be held against me in a court of law!

It's a start


We had our first sign class this week. I happen to think Curt and I did a pretty good job. We did some introductions, showed the materials we would be using, chatted a bit about our story, and met some really cool people. I am excited to seee where the class goes. We have been able to keep it free for 3 sessions now. I'm hoping to be able to do that for awhile. Chelsea is our childcare worker, and she is magnificent with the children. We are for sure gonna keep her around. The kiddos worked on the letter "A" and its sign this week and colored sheets, and played with all the new things in the" Talking Hands" bin. Curt and i have a few upcoming events. We wil be working the Hands and voices table at the state fair for "Deaf Awarness Day" on September 18th, We will be traveling to Chickasha to the Muscle Ranch car show to promote Hands and Voices as well as check out the cool cars, on the 23rd we will be doing a signing parent group/storytime in Lawton,Oklahoma and on the 26th we will be traveling to Colorado Springs for a SEE sign weekend seminar. It's going to be a busy yet exciting month in the Tanksley house. I would also like to take this time to tahnk all of you who came to the class this week, and we look forward to seeing you alll next week for a fun round of signing bingo.
