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

Our little Levi is 6 years old!

P1080194

We had such grand plans for celebrating this birthday.  We were to drive to Montreal the day before, spend his birthday at the Science Center, then have dinner in Old Montreal (he even bought a suit to wear) and the following day, take the train to Toronto for a week (Levi has been anxious to return to Toronto since his last visit two years ago).  Unfortunately, we had a big snowstorm the day before, so we spent the morning of his birthday driving.  Silas became pretty sick on the way, so we couldn't leave the hotel room and the boys and I packed up and drove the 276 miles back home the next day!  He did get to swim in the hotel pool and order room service dessert, but it was a pretty bad birthday.

When Mark returned home from Toronto, we planned a redo birthday, but that morning, Levi came down with a horrible sickness and his redo was canceled.

He is thinking about what he would like to do for his 3rd redo birthday, coming soon.  I hope he will finally have a happy birthday!

Aww, poor Levi! In some of the photos you can see his disappointment about his birthday celebration. But in others, it looks like he is all smiles again. I can't believe he is getting so big! I remember the first time we met you guys, he was just a "Tiny" boy in a Burly!
