2nd Vacation

We took another trip to Douglas this past weekend and we all had a great time! Hadrien is becoming more and more interested in feeling new textures and putting everything in his mouth {including paper/books, his pooh bear blanket, couches, blankets and burp rags, spoons, rattles, etc} to soothe his poor gums...(teething is no fun)! Unfortunately the kid doesn't really care for his teething rings and not so unfortunately prefers mom's hand to everything else! This of course means that mom gets to spend all day holding him when teething makes for a bad day...it's the only thing that comforts him and I love being able to soothe him!

Family

The family endures because it offers the truth of mortality and immortality within the same group. The family endures because, better than the commune, kibbutz, or classroom, it seems to individualize and socialize its children, to make us feel at the same time unique and yet joined to all humanity, accepted as is and yet challenged to grow, loved unconditionally and yet propelled by greater expectations. Only in the family can so many extremes be reconciled and synthesized. Only in the family do we have a lifetime in which to do it. -Letty Cottin Pogrebi
