A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Aquarium Family

I can't remember if I've mentioned here yet that we recently became Aquarium of the Pacific members. It's awesome. It's very affordable, super close to our house (we can ride our bikes there on the river path or take the metro - or a combo of the two, which we did last time) or drive and be there in about 5 minutes. And best of all, Ruthie loves it.

She shares her time about 50/50 between watching all the other kids and looking at the fish. And because it's small and contained, she gets to run around freely, unlike at Disneyland, where we have to keep an eagle eye on her (don't worry, we do still watch her - it's just that she can't get that far away from us). ANYWAY, here she is, enjoying one of the tanks. I love how the Aquarium puts many of the tanks low, so little kids can get right up to them.
And here is Ruthie and Daddy, walking toward the shark tank. Isn't that too cute? We've been working on holding hands with Ruthie, so that she'll walk with us when Noodle gets here. Usually, she pulls her hand out so she can go where she wants (big surprise), but she is doing better. Proof is in the picture!
