Celebration

Well we celebrated GS1's birthday on Saturday, and as is to be expected it was more about others celebrating than GS1 celebrating. The party was more for us than it was for him, I mean, come on, poor little guy, he wakes up from his nap and his Mom brings him downstairs and the house is full of adults all looking at him. If I was him I'd be ticked too. Who are all these people? What happened to my quiet and peaceful house. Why is everybody looking at me? Why is everybody trying to make me smile?

He brightened up though and an hour or so later when some other little people were around he was a lot more animated and happy. D2, nice party!

These wonderful occasions are part of building the bond as an extended family, shared joy, shared memories, shared reminiscences.
"Wow, a year already"
"Do you remember when you first saw him."
"Remember when he..."
These threads are part of the tapestry we are crafting, each of us playing a part and added our own unique colour to the weave. What a fantastic voyage we are on, as the tapestry grows...

I love my family!

  2. I remember … fun crazy wonderful memories … memories that we all carry close in our hearts. I have found that it’s those memories that get me through the rough times.
