Yesterday
We had such a lovely day yesterday. Becky came over with her 2 boys, Max who is 2 and Ben who is 2 months. They spent the day with us and it was so much fun. We didn't do anything but enjoy them, all three of them. It was so nice to see this young woman, who was in my home so many times as she was growing up, being a terrific mother to her boys. Then Paul, another young person who we watched grow up, and is expecting their first child in May, came over and Becky offered him the chance to bathe Ben. He did a fine job (I even have pictures), but was incredibly nervous. Weren't we all the first time?
Anyway, the whole day was so nice and I realized it is the kind of day I will miss with Tiffanie and Shaun and their baby. That's just one of the prices we pay when we give our children wings to fly. We will be fine and we will find ways of being close to their family as they grow, but it just won't be as simple as yesterday.

You will never know how much it meant for all three of us! You know what they say about it taking a village to raise a child. Max would never have become who he is without the "village" of our extened family. I know Ben is going to be just as lucky to have you guys in his life!
