It is not the critic who counts

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt
American statesman, 26th US President Theodore
1858 - 1919

OT...your family is too cute.
I also peeked at your Picasa page-I'm going to the San Miguel/Guanojuato area in the summer for sdd's first communion (dh is from MX). Do you like it there? Things I should think about seeing while the rest of the family is celebrating and ds & I need to fill time. I have been doing some research and I can't wait to get down there and explore.
