Lunch with Angel & a Douglas Trip

March was busy...we had a lot of fun around the house, lunch in the cemetery to celebrate Angel's 13th birthday as well as trip to Douglas to visit Nana and Gompa.



What better way to test out a new backpack??

I don't wanna go home!

Me either!

What a fun filled month. We are truly blessed beyond measure!

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
