But, babies die in the hospital too......

this has been the number 1 thing said to me over the last 20 months. i just read a breakdown of the stats that is truly phenomenally presented. please go over to 10 centimeters to read why saying "babies die in the hospital too!" is utterly ridiculous.

family vacation, Paparella style

so, since our foster kiddos are no longer with us it is time for the Paparellas to search for greener and colder pastures. Unable to make a decision about where to move, we decided to go on a 3 week adventure across the country, sampling what there is to be had. Along the way we met many friends and had many mishaps and adventures. here are some pictures....

we saw so many beautiful things and met so many wonderful people, but i think i was most won over by the ocean.....

wouldn't you be???


can anyone guess where we are moving?
