My wonderful nephew Joseph was here today. He's such a joy. I am grateful that Vickie and I have the opportunity to be close while he's this age. It is our one major regret in leaving Cape Cod while our niece Lauren was small.
Speaking of Lauren. What can I say other than I am truly impressed with the young woman she has become. Though I missed out on most of her childhood, and I miss her telling me how silly I am ... I really am ... I am very happy to be here for her during this time in her life. I can remember how difficult it was to wait for those last two years before becoming a licensed driver. What a cool time to be a teen. She has all the advantages of childhood, and the brain of a young adult. But real life awaits.
Well, that's about it for now. Oh, the Joey-bag-o-doughnuts thing. It, for some unknown reason, reminds me of how fun loving Joseph seems to be right now. Though he doesn't take Mommy leaving really well, we remind him that she's coming back and he seems fine ... until Gram-ma leaves the room for too long. He's still not used to us yet. But he will be soon, I hope.
