When everything is astonishing, nothing is astonishing; this is how the world is to children.

-Antone Rivaroli

A trip to the fish farm where my brother works and where I used to work was pretty fun for the kids.  (This is from last summer!)  Pretty astonishing to see the fish jumping around in the water when the food is thrown in for them!

Speak the truth even if your voice shakes.

-Maggie Kuhn

Trevor got to go on a plane ride on Saturday.  He is usually pretty nervous about that kind of stuff, but when I asked him if he is going to dare ride it, he answered in a bold steady voice, "yeah!"  When he didn't hesitate a bit, I decided that he really will probably be okay. Well he did just great and was very excited when he got back!  Thanks Dane!!

Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.

-James A. Michener

Kids are the greatest example of this, they want to do everything RIGHT NOW!!

 And as hard as it is for me to get out the door, I always love going to watch the elementary track and field.  They are there just giving everything they've got.

And the little ones are into it just as much as spectators!

There are a thousand tiny things from which one can weave a bright necklace of little pleasures of one's life.

-Hermann Hesse

Right now life's necklace is being weaved by these lovely children!  Traditions, celebrations and daily life are the little pleasures around here.  Last week we celebrated two birthdays!!
