This Trip Brought to You by Oma and Opa

Trevor and I often talk about parenthood and how is it such a wonderful adventure, full of fun and many sacrifices. You can never keep score as a parent and you will most definitely spend most of your life giving, giving, and giving to your children (and it is best to not to have expectations of what we should get in return). We are both lucky to have parents who give us so much in terms of love,  emotional (and sometimes financial) support, time...we could go on and on...

Lynda and Drew recently exuded every quality of our definition of parenthood when they came out to help us last month.
 They spent 8+ days with Cecilia while we took off for Puerto Rico and a friend's wedding. They lived in a half-functioning home and bathed Cecilia in love and security while we bathed ourselves in the sun and surf. They also added wonderful touches to the house & yard, and improved the home in many ways. We cannot thank you enough!!






Saying goodbye







I do believe there may be a few intrinsic rewards that come with spending time with your grandchild.
