Family Time

Unfortunately, time is NOT unlimited. With all the demands of parenthood, and the minutes and seconds clamoring for your attention, it's not at all easy to find the time to spend with family and friends.  But we still feel it's a necessity. We want our kids to be social beings. To love, to interact, to enjoy being around their friends and family.

It's also regrettable that some people are missing out on a meaningful relationship with our little ones. It really does make me sad. They're such happy kids. And they are so much fun to be around.  Why you would purposely reject having a relationship with either of them is, among other things, cruel. What could an infant or toddler EVER do to someone? On any level?

Now, as parents, we have to figure out a kind, but direct way to explain to our children WHY they've never met people that they really should have met.  Where are THOSE words? I've yet to find them.

But thankfully, that's the exception. Most are happy to have these moments.  And Julian and Zoe are happy to have them, too.  Every such moment is cherished.
