Just Call Me Susan!

We take our time around here. We are usually at least a year or two behind everyone else when it comes to "new" things. Cell phones, DVD players, I-Pods, and video game systems! (Not to mention dating for 7 years before we got married and then waiting 8 years to have our first child.....but I digress!) It takes us a while to get around to watching movies, too! "The Chronicles of Narnia~The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" was released about 2 years ago. I read the book to Beckett last year and I took him to see the play after that. We have been promising to rent the movie for quite some time and we finally borrowed it from some friends and watched it over the Christmas holiday. Beckett was very familiar with the story, but it was all new for Helen. We all enjoyed the movie very much, but Helen became OBSESSED with it! She is now in her pretend world of Narnia for probabably three-fourths of each day! She tells us all to call her "Lucy" and we each must be the other three siblings; I am "Susan", Beckett and Sean are "Edmund" and "Peter", respectively. We fight battles, ride trains, play hide and seek, jump in wardrobes, put on our fur coats, look for Aslan and all kinds of other amazing adventures from the movie! This afternoon, I dressed Helen up to look like Lucy and thought I'd show how much she can actually look like the little girl who played her in the movie. Kind of cute! We have also watched a lot of You Tube video clips from the movie and I've discovered a Steven Curtis Chapman song that I had never heard! I really like it and so I thought I would put it on my blog. If you have four minutes, you might enjoy it too!
