During the preholiday catalog rush of 2006, the husband spotted and purchased this It was a total hit with the kids. They really look forward to it and we have had some great conversations which grew out of the cards. Sometimes we go off on tangents and have conversations I never would have thought of. Somenights the cards are less exciting, and we can answer the questions easily and without much thought. Tonight's question was "what's your favorite story about an ancestor" (They don't believe in capitals or question marks)
I tilted my head, and thought about the story of my teenaged grandfather spotting my teenaged grandmother walking down the street for the very first time one afternoon and declaring "That's the girl I am going to marry!"
Josh didn't have to think about his favorite ancestor story, he knew right away which story is his favorite, half way through my hazy soft focus imagined grand parental meeting back in 1927 Brooklyn, Josh shouts out "I know my favorite story! It's Noah!"
oh i just want to eat him! :)

I'm especially amused that your Noah reference link is to scrapbooking. :) Of all the ways you could explain who is Noah...

I have a bunch of those questions books, but no cards. I want the cards. We take the books to restaurants, car trips, everywhere. Fun Stuff
