We Are...

 
We Are…

Unable to believe Noah is now riding a pedal bike!  He loves it and is having a blast!

Not sure what is happening with the weather…lots of gray clouds and rain.

Loving the delightful sounds of the Lumineers and especially enjoying Ho Hey!

Had a blast at Noah’s slide show night at school and so very happy we can give him the gift of nature.  Forest school is an incredible opportunity and we are grateful to his wonderful teachers for providing such a well-rounded educational opportunity!  Oh, and Noah received his Kindergarten assignment for August…a short block from our house will be his school! 

It is wonderful to read words that resonate so loudly, such as the following from
The World’s Religions by Huston Smith found on page 37,

“An examination of the anatomy and physiology of human bodies discloses an interesting fact.  All organs of digestion and respiration serve to feed the blood with nutritive materials.  The circulatory apparatus delivers this nourishing blood throughout the body, maintaining bones, joints, and muscles.  Bones provide a framework without which the muscles could not operate, while joints supply the flexibility needed for movement.  The brain envisions the movements that are to be made, and the spinal nervous system executes them.  The vegetative nervous system, helped by the endocrine system, maintains the harmony of the viscera on which the motor muscles depend.  In short, the entire body, except for the reproductive apparatus, converges on action.  “The human machine, a physician writes, “seems indeed to be made for action.””

And so let us move, dance, run, walk, hike, swim…as we were intended to.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home.

Wishing my mom a beautiful birthday and a magnificent year!  We love and miss you!
