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

Jonah and Grandpa

We went to Disneyland a few Sundays ago, as we often do, and my parents joined us, as they often do. It is wonderful; time with family, lots of live music, tons of sights and sounds that spark our kids' imaginations, yummy snacks - we love pretty much everything about. 

But one of my new favorite things is that Jonah and my Dad have the same "Disneyland outfit." Everyone in our family has a Disneyland outfit -Ian and I have Mickey t-shirts (mine also has Minnie, Ian's also has Donald and Goofy), Ruthie has about 10 different princess shirts to choose from, not to mention the costumes she is sometimes able to talk us into letting her wear, and of course, Jonah has Toy Story and Cars t-shirts. My mom also has several Mickey/Minnie themed shirts in her arsenal. 

We've always wanted my dad to join in the fun (this tradition extends to both my sisters and their families) so not too long ago, we got my dad a Disneyland button down shirt, knowing he would never wear just a regular t-shirt. And then in the 3T bin that was handed down to us from Sarah's boys, there was a little "old man" button down Disneyland shirt in Jonah's size. It is so, so, so cute. 

Here are the two of them, in their button down Disney shirts, their khaki shorts, their white socks pulled up high and their black shoes, holding hands on the elevator. I think my heart might burst.
