A big HB to my niece and nephews, Hannah, Jack, and Henry, who all turn another year older right around now. We're emailing your mom some iTunes gift money so you can all pick out whatever music you want for your iPods, since we don't know exactly what you'd like to listen to.In the meantime, though, here's a mix for each of you. You can download them by clicking on the title underneath the cover picture. There's a lot of guessing going on here about your musical tastes, with some helpful hints from your mom. (Thanks, Dane.) Maybe you won't be totally into all of it, but hopefully you'll like some of it.

so sweet!
You are awesome!! I can't believe how much work you did for these mixes! Wanted to let you know how greatly appreciated they are...Henry listens to his going to bed every night and LOVES it! Hannah takes her itouch into the bathroom and cranks it up in the shower and Jack has his itouch with him just about everywhere he goes. They all LOVE your selections! Really nice, thoughtful gift!
Love you,
Dana
Hey, thanks, Dane. That's really great — I'm glad they're going over so well.
I was pretty careful about this on all of them, but I just noticed yesterday there's one F-bomb in Jack's mix. Sorry. It's fairly imperceptible if you don't know what you're listening for. Give you a loonie if you can find it.
Jack says he hasn't heard it yet but now he's going to listen for it! But Hannah says there's a swear in hers...but when I asked her what word, she said the "h" word. Thanks for the heads-up, Jack actally has a few songs with that word in them...it's ok.
Better Jack's than Henry's!!
