"El Chancho" visited Croguay Republic

>


Clara and Alejandro dropped for a visit today, we can't believe how much Ale has grown since we saw him in Buenos Aires. After only 6 months he's already over 70 cm and almost 10 kg!

We had fun... played, took pictures, fed the baby, walked the baby, sang to the baby, cleaned the baby, played with the baby (again)... etc. At the end they fell asleep, yes, both of them. Clara was just exhausted.

In the meantime we were left to ourselves to consider having a baby of our own. Don't get too excited... even though we would love to have them, it won't happen right away. Croguay is in not a situation stable enough to accept new citizens just yet. Specially those who need super extra care (and extra income too). However, it is in our plans.

Enjoy the pictures and if you happen to be in Kobe and able to lend Clara a hand with the little Chancho, please do.


Vive la difference!

Toward no crimes have men shown themselves so cold-bloodedly cruel as in punishing differences of belief.
James Russell Lowell

Diversity is not about how we differ.
Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness.

True observation begins when one is devoid of set patterns.

If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.
