Crazy Doug Fam: May 2008

Five months update on Baby #4

So I had my fifth month check last week and wanted to let everyone know how things are going! Since everyone is DYING to know the gender of this newest little one I was compelled (mostly by my nosy husband, although I wondered as well!) to ask for another ultrasound. So there is no confusion please read carefully!

There is no chance of getting third ultrasound! Unless there is something wrong!

We are a little disappointed in this developement, but also excited that everyone, including us is going to get a great big surprise come september! Don't start biting your nails! It won't be too long! I hope! All I know is that when this young person makes their first appearance we will all be very excited to welcome them!

Here are some new pictures of the Crazy Boys! ENJOY!!

"Take the case of courage. No quality has ever so much addled the brains and tangled the definitions of merely rational sages. Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die. 'He that will lose his life, the same shall save it,' is not a piece of mysticism for saints and heroes. It is a piece of everyday advice for sailors or mountaineers. It might be printed in an Alpine guide or a drill book. This paradox is the whole principle of courage; even of quite earthly or brutal courage. A man cut off by the sea may save his life if we will risk it on the precipice.

He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine. No philosopher, I fancy, has ever expressed this romantic riddle with adequate lucidity, and I certainly have not done so. But Christianity has done more: it has marked the limits of it in the awful graves of the suicide and the hero, showing the distance between him who dies for the sake of living and him who dies for the sake of dying."— G.K. Chesterton
