Family

I'm sitting here, after having spent a lovely, quiet hour and a half at a fabric store, blogging because my sweet parents came and picked up the kids to take them to the zoo.  This is after having a lovely Thursday with two Thanksgiving celebrations for which I didn't cook at all. And having my folks come pick up the kids and take them to lunch yesterday.

Now, I say all this not to brag.  Or gloat.  Or do anything similarly obnoxious.  Truly.  I just want to say how much I appreciate my family - the ones I'm related to by blood and the ones who I was blessed with when I married Jmk.  It is a true gift to be able to be physically close to family.  It's even more of a gift to feel close to family.  Those people who love you AND yours.  And those people who love you, even though. (fill in the blank)  :-)

Thank you to my family!!!  And I love you back.
