Sick Day

Alexandra got hurt before her ballet recital. She still performed beautifully, but I had to carry her to the car!

I **think** she will be okay, it's the top of her foot. But, she is unable to walk flat footed. Something is hurting her. I'll take her in on Tuesday after she rests it.

Anyway, today the KC Pool opened up. Daddy is taking Ainsley and Anderson but, I'm keeping Lexi home b/c of her foot. So, we're having Mommy Lexi time...

While they were getting ready for the pool, we played setup.

Catholicism

Christ said, "I am the Truth"; he did not say "I am the custom." -- St. Toribio
Not 100 in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is. -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body. –C.S. Lewis
Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to abandon themselves unreservedly to Him and if they were to allow His grace to mold them accordingly. -- St. Ignatius Loyola
To the pure all things are pure, but to the impure nothing is pure” (Ti 1:15).

Can we have a moment of silence for the honorable President Ronald Reagan

Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Within the covers of the Bible are all the answers for all the problems men face.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.
I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born

A taste of some Maria Montessori's Wisdom

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.
We must help the child to liberate himself from his defects without making him feel his weakness.
Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.
The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.
No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child.We must, therefore, quit our roles as jailers and instead take care to prepare an environment in which we do as little as possible to exhaust the child with our surveillance and instruction.
A man is not what he is because of the teachers he has had, but because of what he has done.
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth. From this almost mystic affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education must start from birth.
We habitually serve children; and this is not only an act of servility toward them, but it is dangerous, since it tends to suffocate their useful, spontaneous activity.
He who is served is limited in his independence
These words reveal the child's inner needs: "Help me to do it alone."
When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing.
