Check out the photos below. The one on the left is Obama. The one on the right is an Indonesian photographer named Ilham Anas. Anas is from Jakarta (where Obama went to grade school), and he shot to fame after Obama was elected President. Can you believe this resemblence???

An Elephant and Her Dog

Click on the link below to listen to a really sweet story about an elephant who has befriended a dog at the elephant sanctuary where she lives. The elephant and dog are best friends, and are inseparable. The dog even lets the elephant rub her tummy with her huge foot! So sweet. :)

Thanks, Liz!

Clara was the lucky recipient of a new hedgehog toy from our new friend Liz today. She had no idea it was coming, but she was oh-so-happy that it did! This also gave me a chance to try out my new laptop's video camera. It didn't work. Hence, the photo.

Congratulations, Mr. Obama.

This girl is TEN YEARS OLD. She can dance like there's no tomorrow (although I will admit that it's a little creepy how sexy her dance is at only ten years old). I wish I had even a fraction of these kinds of moves down. Unfortunately, I have exactly zero of these kinds of moves down. Alas.

Clara LOVES her new Moose that she got for Christmas from the grandpeople:

Laughing babies :)

It's cold outside. Really REALLY cold. So, I figured we could all use something to warm us up on the inside. What could be better than laughing babies?
