Matthew Pic

Here is a recent picture of Matthew. Its amazing to watch him grow up - even after four kids its amazing to watch the way they grow and develop.

We had our Children's Concert today at church. It went really well. The kids always do a great job and the leaders were excellent. There were a number of kids away due to sickness and so there was a last minute shuffling of lines. Everyone took it in stride and doubt if anyone in the audience/congregation noticed.

I'm a six fingered freak!!!

I was born with an extra finger on my right hand. It had no bone or muscles, just blood vessels and a nail.  In some cultures and times I may have been revered as special - even deified - and in other cultures and times I may have been thrown into the volcano - to feed a deity. But when I was born my culture chose neither of these and the doctor just lopped the digit-wannabe off. Somedays I think it would have been neat to have kept the finger - I would always be able to find the gloves and mittens my Grandma made special for me and I bet it would give wicked dead fingers. But I will never know. All I have to show for it is a little stump that often gets mistaken for a wart.

All that is to lead up to a video I saw for a old toy that made me laugh...

By the way the condition is called polydactyl ... the more you know

Migwec from the polydactyl pasor
