Easter & a wedding

April was a good month. Along with celebrating Easter, I attempted to plant some flowers, and we also attended another wedding. Papa Bill's sister, Joni and Lee were wed in an old Ghost Town and boy did they go all out. It was a blast, plus we were able to spend some time with the California kids who came out.

Time Around the House

Most of February was spent around the house since I have three little boys keeping me busy now. I did receive a new camera so lots of pictures were taken and Simon has added solid foods to his diet. He eats just as well as his other two brothers and of course he really wants to start crawling.
Three happy boys
Mmmm

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
