Our children have a wonderful and funny imagination.
Overheard on the ride home from dinner after church (our older two):
Son: "Let's pretend we're Bible characters."
Daughter: "Okay!"
I'm not sure what it is about us. Why do we continue to think that God doesn't work miracles? (I'm mainly speaking of medical miracles, here.) I guess we are all somewhat like the Disciple Thomas as we have to see it to believe it. Such is the case with our five year old son and his scoliosis.
This ad for Mike Huckabee is funny and clever. Kudos to Mike for showing a sense of humor.

It's funny to look back and see what you've learned about CSS and web design, as a whole. Looking back, I know that my first sites were terrible. I didn't know about Doctypes, symantically correct HTML, etc.
For those of us that have forgotten what it is like to be a new web designer, web developer, or on the client side of things, I have provided a list of CSS classes to use as a reminder (in light-hearted jest, of course).
