For obvious reasons, I'm quite excited about this television show on Sunday night. (note: that's not my kids in the pic . . . it's a computer generated drawing)

Details of the show:

In the Womb: Multiples [TV-PG]
Sunday, January 14, 2007, at 08P

Egg and sperm meet and spark a perilous journey of fetal development, but what if there are two, three or even four along for the ride? In the Womb: Multiples, a two-hour world premiere special, utilizes groundbreaking technology to take viewers into theextraordinary world of twins, triplets and quadruplets as they develop in utero. The special follows the stories of three expectant mothers from conception to birth and travels inside the womb to see the tiny fetuses begin to interact with each other.

We are fortunate to have a photographer that helps us around our house. She gets a great photo of Claire right here.

Catherine can outsing an entire choir

I was not the only Copeland in performance mode yesterday. Check out Catherine and Caroline in their feature performance of "Jesus Boy" at last night's church service.


I didn't realize that the "loud kid" was my Catherine until the end. Caroline gets tired of the performance about 60 seconds into it . . she leaves to go look at the manger scene behind the choir and then comes in for the big finish. Maybe she didn't like the middle part of the song.

Claire wasn't present during the performance . . . stage fright. She did a fine job of it later that night (at home).

Leigh and the girls made cookies tonight. This is before I started the bath!

But why?

The girls ask the question "but why?" after nearly every answer these days. Today, that question was asked again:

Me: Girls, time to get dressed!
Claire: But why?

I realized I didn't have a good answer, so we've been in our pajamas all day . . . and it feels so good.

Sickness attacks next Copeland

Well, the second child and third member of the Copeland household just came down with the latest bug circling Birmingham. It started with Catherine, moved to wife Leigh, and now lies with Claire.

Caroline and I, with the superior O negative blood, have resisted the latest plague.

Or does our fate lie waiting, about 2:30 into our incredible performance of Bach's first motet?

Three things

Three things make me happy and fulfilled in this life.

1. My wife
2. My children
3. My choir(s)

Occasionally, I have the presence of mind to realize how lucky I am.

Today was one of those days.

Caroline's Favorite YouTube Video

Caroline loves this video . . . she especially cracks up when the little girl removes the chair and the monster in the toilet. Enjoy!
