We have this old calendar from 2003 hanging in Nalia and Elio's room. Each month has a quote and every night they ask me to read some of the quotes. There are only 12 quotes (makes sense), so I know them pretty well by now. So tonight.....even though work can suck, I was reminded ... "The world is conspiring in your favor."-Anonymous
and
"How old would be if you didn't know how old you are." - Satchel Page
Nalia's favorite is from one of the strongest, most determined American women we have in our history...Eleanor Roosevelt, "Do one thing every day that scares you."
One night, she chimed down from the top bunk, "Read the one about doing things that make you scared. I like that one."
I like it too.
Here are some highlights of the past months! Elio turned 3... about 3 months ago, and I was got inspired to make him a motor-cross cake (using a locally available cake mix from
Brazil). The cake design was from Family Fun, a great mag for doing stuff with the kids, any age.

I love Nalia's hair and the birthday cake is so fun! It looks like the trip to Swazi was a great one. I love Swaziland and hope I get a chance to back again soon.
