"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

Sledding

We took Emily sledding for the first time and she had a blast! I didn't think she would like going down the hill, but that was her favorite part.

Our funny girl

Emily loves anything and everything to do with music and dancing. She just learned all the actions to Popcorn Popping and is very proud of herself. She loves this song and would listen to it all day long if I could stand it. Sorry it's going the wrong direction...I can't figure out how to rotate videos. It's pretty cute, anyway.
