A little TOO plugged in...

I took these pictures a few weeks back while we were in the car and meant to post them then, but forgot.  We were on our way to take Kellen to rehearsal, a mere 15 minute drive from our house.  Apparently that's WAY too long a drive to just look out the window and enjoy the scenery...

Elliott is watching a movie (undoubtedly Barney).


Kellen is texting a friend and listenting to his iPod.


Wyatt is listening to his iPod and watching Elliott's movie.

Don't worry, I took these pictures while stopped at a red light.  It just struck me as funny, and more than a little sad, that they're all so "wired."  It reminded me of Wall-E.  The saddest part is I really didn't notice it - to me it was welcome peace and quiet (a nice change of pace compared to most car rides) until we stopped at a light and I turned to check on them.  They'd all retreated into their little worlds, and we were missing valuable time to actually talk to each other!  Lesson  learned...
