We LOVE the Discovery Channel - 08 Mar 2008
Its no great confession that the Hodges’ family loves to watch the Discovery Channel. Some of our favorite shows are Myth Busters, Smash Lab, Deadliest Catch, Man Vs. Wild, and Survivor Man.

While watching Scooby Doo today, my youngest son, Elijah, told me that I should get “Life Alert”. “How old do you think I am?” I thought. But instead of taking the comment as an insult I chose to hug him and say, “Thank you for caring about me so much.” On the other hand, [...]

There are a lot of “firsts” in life. Your fist airplane ride, first taste of Dove chocolate, first time to see a Broadway musical, first time to smell a giraffe. But one of the most memorable “firsts”for a lot of people is the first day of first grade. Have a great year Caleb!!!
