So there is a lullaby that chelle's mom used to sing to the grandkids that we have always liked. Well, we decided a long time ago that we like it better in german. So we translated it and have often sung it to each other, especially at bed time or when tired. So when we were pregnant we sang it often to Kara, so that she would be used to it when she was born. I will now let you all in on the song, just because it's so special to us. Warning though, the german may not be totally grammatically correct because let's face it, I've lost a lot of my german since my mission in Switzerland.
Rock-a-bye, don't you cry,
We'll go down to grandma's.
Up the hill, By the mill,
To see the little lammies.
Baah Baah
Schaukel dich, weine nicht,
Jetzt gehen wir zür Omas.
Auf dem Hügel, neben der Mühle,
um die Lämmer zu sehen.
Baahzig Baahzig
So there you have it. Just a little insight into the world of the Sheldon's. Try singing it to your own kids sometime, it works like a charm.

Hmm... Does it have a popular tune? I don't recognize it, but want James to hear as much German as he can.
Hope Kara and Chelle are doing well! You're all in our prayers.
