My parents live in fear of labels. They said if Lydia had known she was dyslexic, it would have made her feel stupid and limited. I actually feel the opposite is true, that it can be a relief to get a diagnosis so you can understand yourself.

I admire Anna for writing plays but I really wish she would branch out a little. EVERY play she writes is a retell of a Bible story. I give her little suggestions (nothing scary, she is very conservative) but she prefers to use only one story source. I just know I learn more from branching out to new ideas. She's done a Christmas play 3 different times (but same story different ways basically) I just think it would be neat if she tried something new.

I'm off to read your family entry.

Go ahead and post the sibling photo?:)
