"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

First Steps Owie


Emily started taking her first steps a few days ago. While she's walking
she has to jabber to herself...it must help her concentrate. While
she was at Grandma Sant's house yesterday, she learned how to
walk and kick a ball. While she was practicing,
she slipped and cracked her head on a plant stand. She had an
instant bruise and then started bleeding. She's also
starting to get a black eye. We felt so bad!!! This is her
first major accident and I'm sure there are
many more to come. I wondered if she would be scared
to try walking again, but she soon forgot about her owie and took
off again. We are so proud of our little girl.
