I miss him. And know I complain about not being with him enough...but he does so much too Erin...gets the baby fed, and the kids off to school each morning after making their lunches (I'm at work at 7). Brings Elliot to and from therapies three times a week. Makes dinner for us on days when he's not shuttling kids back and forth, or isn't completely exhausted himself. It amazes me, despite all of the insanity of our weekly routine, we still can love each other around these, and make the bits we get together to count.
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.

I know all of that. It makes me happy to see him here, on the blog.
So much about the kids, which I understand, but nice to see you all connected here and at Stennis.
