Little Davie is what we call a "smart aleck" in our house :)
i really like the quotes- especially the thoreau one. the first david joke could probably really happen with the amount of tv most kids watch these days.
Really enjoyed the quotes. Some profound wisdom there.

Fun! I'm just catching up on my blog reading. I love the Good Hair Day, and also the pictures of Rome! I was in all those spots you pictured 15 years ago. It seems like yesterday. Thanks for the memories.

I love those..Vicki's comment too.
