To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Awe, he is getting so big!! What great footage, I really liked the lyrics of the song too. Was that only family in the pool? It looked like a public pool! :) Must be nice to have everyone around!
I hate that song, because it makes me cry like a little school girl.
I tell people I'm waiting like 10 years to have another baby, because the sooner I do that, the sooner they grow up and leave me. And I don't want to be alone.
Julie, you are so good at that! I can not believe how much i love your little boy and the fact that my boys are in so many of the shots! I love you guys!
"The reason we are in the miserable mess we are in is because the states have--either wittingly or unwittingly--ceded their authority and independence to Washington, D.C. Therefore, it is now critical that states reclaim their authority--authority that is duly granted them under the US Constitution."
KNOW YOUR CONSTITUTION--
It is shocking and saddening to see the recent trends in our beloved country. Trends that are pushing us closer and more rapidly to socialism. We were once a light and example to other nations of prosperity strength unity and freedom but it seems our prestige continues to spiral embarrassingly downward. Our domestic economy contiues to crumble by unsound fiscal, economical and foreign aid policy which is why we are now witnessing the corruption of our national currency. Increasing power of Federal government is dramatically weakening state powers. And unconstitutional actions by all branches of Government and continued attempts to override constitutional restraints seems to be the new standard. It makes the future seem frightening. However, we need not fear because we have an institution we can put full faith in and that is the constitution. It is our weapon, our hope and defender of truth. Bring the truth to light…that’s our challenge today and everyday. Emmerson stated that "every mind must make a choice between truth and repose." Those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it and that is whats happening to America today.

It's perfectly sound logic if you ask me.
