My blog post last week was about adding more joy to your life and I said that one of my best sources of joy is my nephews and nieces.
Well, this week I got to spend time with my brother’s daughters Sarah and Lauren. We went to see the movie Nanny McPhee Returns and then went home to make dinner of fajitas, tacos and apple crisp. This picture is of an outing we had in the summer when we went out to tea, complete with cucumber sandwiches, individual teapots, tiered plates and hats we could wear while we were enjoying our tea.
What I love about being with Lauren and Sarah is the fun we have telling stories and laughing. We like to do new things together, like learn to use an apple corer, and create things like the scrapbooks we worked on this summer. I also like to remind them about things that are important to the world. For example, I take them and their brothers and their cousins to see the Disney movies in the Earth series, so that we remember how important it is to take care of the Earth.
Being with Lauren and Sarah and their brothers and their cousins makes me very happy because it lets me give some love away and get some in return. It’s really awesome to think that I helped just a bit in making these boys and girls the really wonderful people they are. And it fills my heart with joy to think about how special it is to have them in my life.
