Quotes

  • Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
  • Education
    "Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
  • "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
  • Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus
  • How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard

Ice skating

As an early Christmas present, we all received new ice skates.  Yesterday, Silas could barely stay up right on the ice.  Here he is today:

Silas really loves skating and just like when he is skiing, he likes to go fast and doesn't seem to get frustrated no matter how many times he falls.

Levi has new skates too, but right now is more interested in sliding around the ice on a milk crate.  Here he is getting a fast push by our friend Evan:

Sometimes it is tough to get the boys outdoors when the temperatures are in the 20's, now all Si can talk about it heading out to the skate pond.  It is so fun to be able to do this together!

We heard about your big snowfall amounts we all are very jealous.  We got about an inch of snow yesterday morning, but the storm headed east out to the Atlantic and missed us, such a bummer.  Ill bet Ruby feels like she is back in Colorado now.

Are you all ready for tomorrow?  Good luck!

Silas, you are terrific on skates, way to go! Levi, would you push me on a milk crate if I come to Maine, it sure looked like you were having a great time. I want to see a video of Mom and Pops on skates!! Love you, Nana
