Thanks for the Memories

We’re back home, safe and sound…and sad.  We already miss our California family.  I’m choked up just thinking about the fact that I won’t see Grampa when we wake up in the morning, reading a book in the corner by the window, keeping us company while we eat our breakfast.  And I won’t be able to wake up Aunt Angie with the girls’ babbling outside her bedroom door.  And we won’t get our constant Grammie hugs and kisses and smiles all day long.   I loved watching my parents’ and sister’s expressions as they played with the girls, their eyes alight with joy and wonder and adoration.  It’s so hard being far away from my family, but it makes me cherish our precious moments together all the more.  We had a wonderful week with you, family, and can’t wait until we’ll all be together again.  Thanks for the memories!
