Los Pininos: Lucky me

Lucky me

Mama, do you know how much I love you?
I love you wrapped around the moon, and all the way through space.
And through a door, and a hundred doors, to the edge of the world,
and to the end of the world.

Los Pininos

We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves. I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles. I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives. We are Los Pininos.
