I have the same conversation w/ my nephews (11 &8) and my niece (4) on a regular basis. And I have to tell them the story of when they were born (the nephews) or the first time we saw their pictures and they came home (niece was adopted) every single time They never get tired oh hearing it and it’s never tiring to tell. It’s great cuddle time that ends to soon.

Such adorable pictures. The boys really are getting big – I can’t believe how grown up William looks! I think it’s great that you get to spend so much time with your family – I’m sure everyone appreciates having you around just as much as you do them.

Jane,
Great pictures- William looks like Audrey, Alexander like Matt, Benjamin and Henry perhaps a combination.
What a great way to spend your time with 4 adorable little men!

Janie… Dad and I are so enjoying your stay! You have always been our morning sunshine and moonlit nights. I love your footsteps at the back door and your key in our keyhole. I love your bare feet and your dancing blue eyes. I love your unmistakable giggle and your raucous laughter. I love your puppies and their soft breath and clicky paws on our floors. I even love your exercise things strew about outside our laundry area and your “stuff” all over our kitchen table. I love seeing you blossom all over again… bigger and more lovely and more beautiful mature flowers than ever. I will always be your Watering Can, giving you any loving nourishment you need, when you need it. That is the magic of motherhood. I love you… Mom

I think the love you have for your nephews is totally awesome. They are so blessed to have an aunt like you. And I’m sure Audrey is so thankful she has you as her son’s aunt!

I love that you can see the blessings as they occur, Jane. So many people wouldn’t recognize them until their hindsight allows and by then, we often have so many wishes of how we’d have done things differently. By recognizing them and appreciating them right now, you are taking full advantage of their beauty!

Hi Jane. I find your relationship with your entire family so heart warming — so much love and support. Audrey’s boys clearly love their Auntie Jane! I just read some of your earlier posts (via the “living back at home” links). I’m sorry to hear what you’ve been going through these last several months. Your appreciation for the “unexpected blessings” in your life is truly inspiring. And nothing is better than “light up the room smiles!”
