Love, Nana, Mimi, Dana, Elle Bug, Kristina, Jules, Amanda, and Seth.
This year was spent at Jay's wonderful sister's, and a great time was had by all.
Dana (Jay's sis) and Tom (Dana's man) are lucky enough to live on what has to be one of the only "family streets" left. For their neighbors camped in the front yards with glasses of wine and children, ran about with giggles and screams. As the visit progressed, Julia found that she was quite popular amongst the little neighbors.
Of course the rest of us realized what a difference 4 years really can make in a childs life. After all, Amanda is only 6, and Jules only 10, and look at the difference.
Children are truely little blessings in our lives, and not young for nearly enough time. Before we blink, our beautiful Julia will be a teen and our Elle a Kindergartner! They are really but guests in our homes. Their visits, while extended, are much, much too brief. Make sure they know you love them so, each and every day!
I truly hope all Mom's gain such perspective on this Holiday.
