oh teeth, come out, come out wherever you are!

poor ben. he has been a miserable, teething boy for the past three days. fever on and off, lots of wiping a boogery nose, and lots of gnawing on little chubby fingers. i wish i had a picture of him to post here, but truth is, he hasn't left my arms since tuesday.

some new baby news--our friends ben and stephanie welcomed their first child, a little girl, to the world on sunday, mother's day. you can see pictures from her very first photo shoot here.

she sure is one beautiful baby. must stay away so i don't get baby smell-induced baby fever!

anna's dance recital is tomorrow. dress rehearsal tonight. josh has a baseball game tonight too, and on top of that, we have snack duty too. there just isn't any rest for the weary.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results."
Albert Einstein

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melody Beattie

“…when some doctor tells you “Your child won’t…” or “Don’t get your hopes up,” don’t you dare sell your child out and buy into that… defeatist attitude. Sometimes all it takes is a belief that it can happen, the determination to create the possibilities —the right environment, the right people— and the ability to love your child more than you fear their labels and limitations.”

Being deeply loved by someone
gives you STRENGTH;
Loving someone deeply
gives you COURAGE.

"It was my child who taught me to understand so clearly that all people are equal in their humanity and that all have the same human rights. I might never have learned this in any other way. I may have gone on in the arrogance of my own intolerance for those less able than myself. My child taught me humanity."
Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author, Pearl S. Buck

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”
Anna Quindlen, Author

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
