Daily Play & Another Milestone

In August we played at home a lot and Hadrien started Atrium. It's religious education which follows the Catechesis of the Good Shepard. He went with Andrew and I to visit a couple different parishes that have the program and chose to attend the Atrium at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. He was so excited his first day and loves his teacher Ms. Pam.

Liam continues to show us that he is our little "beaner" baby,,,he loves Mexican food as much as his mom and dad. Here's some photos from August:

Hmm....YUM Filiberto's!

NO....IT'S MINE!
Hadrien is so handsome on his first day of Atrium!

K, Momma, LET'S GO!

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
