Silent and Sweet Saturdays
We are interested in having our children learn sign language. Bob started a new tradition: every Saturday for two hours we can only communicate through sign language, gestures, pantomimes, writing, and lip reading. It has been wonderful! The quiet is a nice break, but even more importantly, there are little to no arguments because we have to be so careful with our communication! What a great reminder! Being disciplined in our communication helps us become more like our Savior Jesus Christ.

What a cool idea. You two are terrific and are your little brood.
That sounds really nice!
Are you allowed to write notes? I think this is a great idea! I have a super book that I will get to you called "The Joy of Signing." You'll love it!
