FAMILY keeps me grounded and hopeful,

Your Element Is Water
A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted
and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also
are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.
You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.
You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around
waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little
more peaceful.
Isela, Atticus is so precious. I love his photos (especially the one with jam on his face and your profile picture). He truly is one happy, beautiful little boy. Felicidades. You look so happy yourselves. I hope I get to see him before he grows up!
