Grammy's birthday

We returned from 5 fun filled days with your cousins in New Jersey to celebrate Grammy's birthday.  I love to watch you with your cousins and see the bond that naturally exists between the six of you.  Andrew insisted that you do a "sleepover" in his room - he read you a story before bed and he slept in a sleeping bag on the floor next to you.   Charlotte and you played pretend for hours.  And you fit right in with Penny and Luke and whatever tricks they're up to.   You were such a good boy and so happy all weekend. 

Family dynamics are challenging but we make the most of the one we've been given.   Nobody, including me and you, are perfect but we are accept, honor our boundaries, embrace the craziness and move forward.  Life's too short for anything but love.
