Today was a wonderful day. I got home after being gone for a week and got to see happy and excited children whom I know love me, with a wonderful sister-in-law(Debra), whom I know needs a long vacation now. Then, an hour later my wonderful sister showed up and I had no idea she was in town. I was starting to really miss her too. You should have seen Sam. He was doing somersaults and yelling with delight because his "Nanni" and Aunt "Ticole" were here. He just could not stop hugging and loving them and following them around. Any time we get in the car now he asks if we are going to Las "Begas" to see his other family. They are missed deeply. I guess breaking ties as a twin is hard. Especially since my kids consider Nicole their second mother. My niece stayed with us for 3 weeks and it was the greatest experience I have ever had. She is wonderful. Isn't family great.
