Our little boy is a year old (13 months actually, I've been a little lax about updating this blog). He is still the sweetest baby, he wakes up smiling and is generally very happy. He has grown a couple new teeth in the last month or so and has taken a number of steps and gives himself a big round of applause whenever he does something new. Besides playing with his brothers, his favorite things are playing ball, splashing or dropping items in water, it could be lake, stream, ocean, bath or just the water in my drinking glass, it doesn't matter, and exploring the outdoors. He is becoming more and more independent, on a recent camping trip, while we were all sitting around the campfire, he crawled far away to check out the woods all on his own. He doesn't say any real words yet, but is getting very good at communicating and is usually able to let us know exactly what he wants (we hear a lot of "tuka" and "une-dat"!). Arlo is very social and oftens yells loudly to get the attention of a stranger when he feels like making a friend. We're so happy to have this little guy in our family!

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
