This morning James came over to play. Not because his Mommy was busy or because he needed a babysitter - just because he woke up in the morning and said, "Hmm... I go Misha's house?!" ("Misha" is a family pet name primarily used by James for Mia). I love that. I love that my sister and I have been fortunate enough to raise our children together thus far. I love that at preschool, James and Mia squabble like siblings. I love that Ali will ask for "alone time" with Auntie. And I love that occasionally all the kids can descend upon Grandma and Pop-Pop for an evening...
I am still close to my cousins. Life has taken us many different directions, but I still feel connected. Joe has similar connections to a fabulous extended family. Care to reminisce?
Our cousins have become confidantes, role models, Godparents and friends. I pray my girls have similar relationships with their family as adults.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. ~Thomas Jefferson
