Good-Bye 2007 Hello 2008!
I don’t even know how to sum up last year! For me, it would be a blur of airports, taxis, orange zip-up jackets, lights, cameras, “action!” with a constant score of “Signing Time!” in the background. I can rattle off airport codes, area codes and zip codes. I think I covered the country. PA, NC, New York:
IN, KY, NV, CA, Texas:
AL, MI, ND, MA a total of 58 days on the road. Well, I did break my elbow just to mix it all up a bit.
For Aaron it would be a blur of powder days at Snowbird, editing, camping, hiking, assistant coaching soccer, packing up our old Two Little Hands office and moving it to our new Two Little Hands office, snapping photos and rolling tape… all with a constant score of “Signing Time!” in the background.
Leah just turned 11. She won the school Spelling Bee in June. Dad filmed, we screamed and everyone cried. It has been viewed over 7,900 times on youtubee. (She’s practically a star!) She spent literally every day of her summer with her cousin Alex by her side. They had their hair and wardrobe done each day… you can guess where this is going, can’t you?…
all with a constant score of “Signing Time!” in the background.
Lucy is 7. This year Lucy accomplished one of her biggest life long goals. Lucy was able to (as her shirt says below) “defy gravity”
She took her first steps! Lucy has a walker and she graduated from her weekly physical therapy visits, she thought it was weekly torture. Lucy spent the summer playing on an AYSO “Very Important People” (VIP) soccer team.
She also learned to hold her breath under water in the pool. Lucy learned quickly that every time mom said, “Hey Lucy, want me to curl your hair today?” What mom really meant was, “We need to film you doing a few signs for Signing Time!”
I am not sure what 2008 will bring, but I have a feeling there are orange zip up sweaters in my future and a constant score of “Signing Time!” in the background.

Thanks for stopping by our website (sheatran.com) and leaving a comment. Our daughter Shea can’t get enough of the dvds. It’s so much fun to communicate with her using ASL. Thank you for making your wonderful dvds!
You had a busy year! I can tell you that 2007 brought me a whole new family thanks to you and your family. 2008 is going to be another great year!
This is Allison, Anni and Kylee from Cottonwood Cottage Academy Homeschool. We made it to your Cottonwood High School Birthday Party show and had a blast! We keep up with your blog and love to hear about your family and your business life. We use it as part of our ASL education for the hearing. We love it all!! Can’t wait for what is in store for Sigining Time in 2008. Good luck in Africa and be sure to post whenever you can. We’re dying to hear how things go there!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!
Do I hear a new song being written? TITLE: “A Constant Score of Signing Time in the Background”
I think signing time is in your future LoL
Rachel I would love love if you can post video of Lucy playing soccer and walking. I have Cp as well (it’s mild) and am in high school. I love signing time . I first learned about you last year. My school has a autism class and i have lent them some signing time in hopes that the students will be able to communicate though sign when we start our special friends club in the spring. As for me I used to sign as a baby. I have all of series one but none of season two. Its a good thing that my local pbs plays season two on Saturday mornings. I have a blog too its lifeofnldcp2blogspot.com Come and visit,
What an amazing year it has been for all of you! I’m so glad we were able to share some of it with you. The concert was truly amazing!
