    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Tripp's namesake in the Palin family


Tripp!!!

In case anyone missed it, this is what Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston named their baby, born 12/30.

My hubby Tripp says its in honor of the fact that he wrote to John McCain (John who?) last spring to suggest Sarah Palin as a running mate :)

Not sure why they chose it, other than another contribution to the TR theme in their family, what with Trigg and Trey.

My Tripp was called Tripp because he is a III - Wallace Barnes Curtis III. As a counterculture "legend in his own mind," he ditched all the names and just became Tripp Curtis.

Another Curtis/Palin connection - I tell you, we've got to meet one of these days.

Love,

I think Palin should go on a bus tour of America with her 18 children for all of our enjoyment. We can go to the movies, and hang out.

I enjoy your posts. That's a very cool name! We'll be watching Sarah Palin in the news for a long time to come. Having my 4th child with Down syndrome, I'll be interested in how she will help bring a healthy awareness to our community in the future.
