Yes, Laurel and I have decided it is time for us to pass down our pink plastic storage bin of "Adventures in Odyssey" to Olivia, Claire and Quentin.
~sigh~
This is actually a very big step in our lives. Ever since we were about 3 1/2 years old we have listened to at least 1 episode of AIO every single night before we went to bed. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. That is over 2,600 nights of having the voices of Whit, Connie, Eugene, Tom, Bernard, and so many others speaking to us and teaching us lessons we might not have otherwise learned.
So, here is to our "second family". The one who existed only through our ears and imaginations. The one who taught us not to lie, cheat, steal, or ever buy anything from Bart Rathbone and expect it to work. May you speak to our little siblings the same way you spoke to us, with God right there in the middle of it.
Thank you, Adventures in Odyssey. Here's to you!
Paige.
BTW. Our family still usually listens to an episode while we are eating lunch!!

Oh. . I totaly know how u feel.. about a year ago derrick and i did the same thing but we gave them to our younger cousins. And we just did the same thing except with our Gameboys.
But I do agree that AIO is pretty much the best thing ever for younger kids. Derrick and used to build forts and listen to AIO all day long HAHa good times.
Love you both,
Erika :)
aww thats sweet, i'm sure Olivia will enjoy them. I remember watching Odyssey shows on tv as a youngster. :D
Hey, I think I lost my message...you may get this one twice. I was telling you that when Chad and Alicia were little, Focus did not have AIO, but I would order records from them with great stories for the kids. Alicia had a 'Smirff' record play, and we still have it and the records. When you come down in August, I will dig it out for us to listen too.
