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

Arlo's first Thanksgiving!  He seemed to like it, especially the squash and mashed potatos. He has a new tooth, his first, just poking through to help him with all the new foods he has been so excited to try lately.

Silas daydreams about Thanksgiving dinner all year long, he loves it so much.  Just like Halloween 2011, he declared this Thanksgiving day to be the "best ever".

Yesterday's snowstorm prevented us from having our first Thanksgiving at camp as planned, but we had a lovely day in Portland and shared a fantastic dinner with friends.

I love the last photo where it looks like Arlo is chatting away to that adorable little girl! He is sooo dang cute. Maybe you guys can come to Denver next year, and Silas can cook for us!
