Alone the pieces of our family are only ordinary people. Together as one we are Extraordinary.

Raquetball with DAD!!
Van decided recently that she would like to learn to play racquetball. So her ever indulgent father went out and bought her a racquet (PINK OF COARSE!) Then he taught her. He even remembered to take pictures without being asked! Way to go daddy!
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body. How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.
I am a woman, a coworker, a wife, but first and formost I am a MOM!
At work, I think of the children I have left at home. At home, I think of the children I've left at work. Such a struggle is unleashed within myself. My heart is rent.
