GRAB THE MOMENT WHEN YOU CAN<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Life offers all kinds of opportunities \u00a0to do \u00a0silly things. We \u00a0have always revelled in such. \u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because the study of history engraved four words \u00a0into our memory bank. \u00a0Words \u00a0expressed by Teddy Roosevelt when he considered his life. \u00a0\u201cGet Action, Do Things!\u201d \u00a0 No deep philosophy here but if I had to memorize something from his life then those four words seemed good and we, as a family, have tried \u00a0to follow that advice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hence the picture below.<\/div>\n

P.S. \u00a0I have no \u00a0admiration for Teddy Roosevelt really. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because of his terrible fascination with guns and the shooting of wild animals.\u00a0 Killing things is not my idea of \u2018action\u2019. \u00a0 Making the most out of \u00a0life\u2026now that is action that hurts no one. \u00a0 And that is why those four words are so important to us.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Below is a \u00a0picture \u00a0we had \u00a0taken by a fun photographer on Centre Island when the boys were young and so photogenic. \u00a0We \u00a0had a lot of fun posing for this picture.\u00a0 If you ever get such a chance, grab the opportunity.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
