New Loves

"The best and most beautiful things in the world

cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart."

--Helen Keller

This past month, two new loves have become a part of our large family.

My nephew Jeremy, is now married to Liz. We love them both and it is so wonderful to see them together and how they balance each other. It is a funny thing as we grow into life, how after many years of marriage myself to my adored husband Mark, how balance of each other plays such an important part of your marriage. I find that it is not so important that you have to do everything the same, have the same likes and dislikes, but how you communicate and understand each others likes and dislikes that creates a wonderful marriage- ok...well most days- we are all human. But all in all we are so happy that Liz and Jeremy are together and we know they will have a long and growing marriage- mazel tov!!

Our next precious addition, is a new little girl Kayla Lane.
My niece Sarah and her husband, Mike F, are the proud parents. Kayla took some effort to join us in this world. Sarah and Mike had some obstacles to over come and then Kayla decided that she wanted out into this world at 28 weeks.

She is remarkable and will be in the hospital for a bit to finish developing. But we are so happy she is here!
