Nora: Daddy, don't kill that fly.Fascinating stuff.
Dad: Huh?
Nora: You shouldn't kill any animals unless you have to. You should catch it and let it go.
Dad: It's just a fly.
Nora: It is still something that is alive.
Dad: Why do you think it is wrong to kill things that are alive?
Nora: Because nature is important. It is even more important than television. And ice cream.

Oh, Nora. She is a good fit for your hippie family. :)
It was so nice (sad circumstances though) to see Ellie and we missed the rest of you.
Stephen walking with his hands in the air is adorable. I am excited to see it in person!
TV yeah....Ice cream I'm not too sure about...
Thanks for calling Sam tonight, Ellie. It made him very happy.
