Mothering

"I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best I could bring to it."

- Rose Kennedy

San Diego Zoo

We went to the San Diego Zoo with Mimi, my Mom.





A funny little story happened while we were in the petting zoo part and enjoying petting the goats when Cyrus calls out to me, "Mom, look there is pork!" and I looked to where he was pointing- a section of tired-of-being-petted-animals and the one he was pointing to was a pig! "Cyrus that is a Pig but we do call it Pork when we cook and eat it..."

Ventura, CA Harbor. Just to embarrass them later.
