...on a rainbow.
Hey, hey, we're goin'
up tomorrow.
Up tomorrow is a rainy day,
so come on up to that shadow plain,
the shadow plain is a...
white banana (?)
All the rudd nieces and nephews have been raised (by their aunt gigi) on this wonderful nonsensical song.
And today it provided me with wonderful smiles, laughter, and even some singing from Will.

You are such a good aunt...of your neices and nephews and of your friends babies!!! I can see from that picutre that Isaac and Will had such a fun time with you yesterday and I am sure they are having the same fun today. Talk to you soon!

well...yes. the boys did have fun yesterday and today (thank you for the extra day), but i can't exactly claim credit for the happiness you see in the picture. i stole the picture from daniel's page.
it was meant to *represent* yesterday's happiness, not actually document it.
and yes, ryan is also one of those special babies raised on the song :)
Ang,
Just the other day I was singing that song to a friend's baby..I remember you teaching me when we were still in school together!
so funny that I recently thought of it..it's nonsense lyrics never leave your memory once committed!

hey, hey
part...
....it is a great song.

Is the picture any less *true* now?
redbaerd,
i laughed a lot....picturing your classroom scene. you must be so strong. i have a hard time still doing that part with emma and jaelyn!
But I'm thinking that i'll just keep getting stronger as they grow,....so eventually i'll be able to lift college-sized 'kids' too :)
whoa... yeah, im some random guy that lives in california, but our youth pastor who was from michigan taught us that a while ago... and there was a "patty-cake"-esque hand motions with it... but yeah, its good to be reminded of stuff like this... oh, and i think its "bright banana"?... maybe...
