QOTD
Once there lived a village of creatures along the bottom of a great crystal river. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth. But one creature said at last, "I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom."
The other creatures laughed and said, "Fool! Let go, and that current you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will die quicker than boredom!"
But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks. Yet, in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more.
And the creatures downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, "See a miracle! A creature like ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to save us all!" And the one carried in the current said, "I am no more Messiah than you. The river delight to lift us free, if only we dare let go. Our true work is this voyage, this adventure.
But they cried the more, "Saviour!" all the while clinging to the rocks, making legends of a Saviour.

Oh how cute Jimmy! I can’t wait to meet him in person and Laura does not look like a woman who just had a baby 🙂
You’ve got one beautiful family there big brother.
Oh, thank you, thank you. *bashful grin*
Congratulations to all of you! Poor Olaia, she’s really outnumbered now. Although I have a feeling if anyone can handle it, it’s her! Thanks for the great pictures!
The Waldman family (still only the four of us…)
Whoa! Congratulations to the O’Malley Gorbea team for their latest product release! 🙂
Thanks guys. Laura’s a real trooper. She’s a dynamo with those product releases. As for Olaia, Dave, don’t you worry about that little Amazon. She’s got them firmly in her control 🙂
Girrrrl Power!
Dang, Laura is absolutely gorgeous, are you sure she just had a baby? Your offspring have quite the genetic advantage. I expect great things … superpowers, Nobel prizes, impossible cuteness. Well, they’ve already got that last one down. Much love and congrats to all!
Congrats, ol’ buddy! Y’all are awesome!
If you two keep this up, we may have to move the 2008 reunion to Puerto Rico so we can all see you and your blessed burgeoning family!
Heyyyyyy. . . I think I’m onto something here. . . !
That would be super cool. In any case, 2008 should be fun. 20 years! Can you believe that?! Where did the time go?
Congratulations!
Nice family you’ve got there. Be proud:)
Thanks, Sigg3. It’s nice to know you popped in to say hi. I’ll be getting back to posting as soon as the wailing and gnashing of teeth here in the O’Malley Gorbea household subsides. Been super busy, as you can expect. I’m building my own rave scene here, one kid at a time.
Yes, most kid I know of are raving.
Stark raving mad:)
I think I’m going to call him Ricky… wotta cutie pie… and did Jim lose weight ?
Yeah, I’m down about 10 lbs in the past year. Slowly but surely…
He is cute, isn’t he. I have to post more pics, he’s growing like a weed.
Wow now I feel like a big sister with James/big brother,Javier,and Asier.
But I guess I can live with it.
Asier is such a cute face I want to eat his
chubby face.
