New Year's Eve

For Christmas this year the kids received a train table from 'Santa' and we spent the next few weeks playing with it and them. So it's no wonder that all of New Year's Eve day was spent on the thing. We took a small break as the sun was setting to introduce the boys to sparklers. They had a lot of fun with them just before bedtime. Looking forward to what 2012 has in store, may God continue to bless all of our friends and family as well as this little Gilliland Bunch.

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
