Finding the Positives

This has to be my favorite part about where we are living... we are so close to the trail that runs from Greenleaf to Green Bay.

The first one is usually the best... to bad my lighting was off...

And again...

I love this one (probably because I didn't even tell Gage to hug his sister he just did!) but where is Ozzye...

I have no idea what is even going on here... Where's the love now?

There Is Ozzye... kind of...

and Kain deciding to be a lover and not a fighter (at least for now)

Best of the bunch...

Not for long...

I love how Kain and Aubriel are consoling Brody and Gage...

I am sure they had visions of it taking even longer at that point. I am such a mean mom, taking their picture!

~Michael Bernard Beckwith

"The difference between certain and perhaps, isn't much after all."

"We must be the change we want to see in the world."
~Gandhi

"In the medical system, what is available is human knowledge, human reason, human effort. It's what the Psalmist calls, 'horses and chariots,' the arm of flesh and the interventions of man. Very few Christians will admit to having more faith in the medical system than they have in God, but very few are willing to trust Him without the medical system. I think the time is coming when we will have to recognize it's an either/or situation."
~Balizet

"Many Western doctors hold the belief that we can improve everything, even natural childbirth in a healthy woman. This philosophy is the philosophy of people who think it deplorable that they were not consulted at the creation of Eve, because they would have done a better job."
~Kloosterman 1994

"The doctor of the future will give little medicine but will interest his patients in care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."
~Unknown

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."
~Buddha

"If you regret the choices you made in the past then you regret the person you have become."

"It is our actions, not our abilities, that show others what we truly are."

"Twenty years from now you will be more upset about the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did!"

"Paying for formula when breast milk is free is like turning down a scholarship to Harvard to pay for community college."
