Okay, so I have not demonstrated much success in regular blogging since Scott initiated the family blog 2 years ago. And now he wants me to have my own site!! I am gonna try to be more regular (should eat more fiber?).  But at the moment Elise is screaming “Mommy, mommy” at my leg because she has had acid poopies and a diaper rash and simultaneously wants and doesn’t want her diaper to be changed (sorry if that is tmi).  Elena has been saying all morning that she doesn’t feel well and has puffy red eyes and pink cheeks. Besides these customary demands, I’ve got a household to begin packing, a broken dishwasher, a landlord to inform of our upcoming evacuation, moving companies to contact for shipment quotes (these will all have to take place in second language), and tons of praying to do about our future. I’m not complaining. The truth is the Friderich family has quite a bit of experience with major change and I think I enjoy a little bit of chaos.  Just anticipating that blogging very often may be a challenge.

Saw Walk the Line last night.  Excellent movie.  You all probably already know that, since I think it may already be available on DVD in the US.  But it is just now playing in theatres here.  I was inspired by the portrayal of June Carter’s character to be the kind of partner/wife who is exceedingly supportive and loving even in the midst of trial. And Reese Witherspoon was fantastic.  Also a fan of Joaquin Phoenix.  Made me want to learn more about Cash’s real life.
