Happy First Birthday, Jamie

Happy Birthday, Jamie!!  I said this to you on the night you were born, and here it is one year later, already...

You have brought us more joy that you will ever know.  We have watched you grow from a little marshmallow into a feisty one-year-old.  Your face holds endless emotions and you never cease to make us laugh.  

After raising our own families, it has been a treat to share in your development.  We remember the milestones of our own children, but we were so busy with life, that we often forgot to revel in the miracles that a child offers.   We are so fortunate to have you close-by and have the opportunity to see you often and witness your tiny achievements.   

You might never realize how much you are loved.... from Heaven down to earth.   You are blessed to have Grandparents who see, hug, and kiss you all the time.  You also have a Papa in Heaven who smiles down on you and watches over you everyday.

Jamie, you are such a blessing to this family.  We can't wait to see what the future holds for you.  Happy Birthday, little one.

Love you dearly,
Grandma and Grandpa

Where should we go next? The back yard?

We recently returned from a vacation.   Spending every moment with someone, day and night, for days on end is a true testament of compatibility.  

I am not really sure what exactly makes us click:

• we read
• we relax in the sun
• we do crosswords
• we eat
• we like an occasional cocktail
• we dance
• we can talk about anything
• we can be quiet together
• we are grateful

I am thinking it is probably a winning combination of all those things. 

With the exception of that job I go to each morning, for us, everyday is like being on vacation.
