to our house in North Dakota

Italy

Hawaii

Guatemala

Texas

What are some things you would like to do?

Well, the children's answer's just needed to be recorded

for future comparison:

Do not ask that your children live up to your expectations.

Let your kids be who they are,

and your expectations will be in breathless pursuit.

Time spent with children is never wasted.
