Hi All,

We want to send out a special thanks to Mover Scott of the Imagination Movers for recording a bumper for us. We wish them all much success on their tour as they travel around the United States.  Speaking of traveling, Mr. Chris has been doing a lot of that lately because he has been presenting at conferences. It’s amazing how accustomed the kids have become to each of our parenting styles. As you listen to the story, consider the following: “What’s something special you do with each of your parents?”
