Nick brought Nolan and Nash for a visit this morning and it was so good to see them here. I stopped babysitting them this past summer because of my new tendency to drop off to sleep without warning. I felt it wasn't safe for them.
They hadn't forgotten where their toys were kept and obligingly sorted out the ones they wanted me to keep and a small bag of toys they were willing to part with. It's so cute how some of the toys they loved when they were toddlers are the ones they can't give up. Well, at least the pile is thinned out a bit now.
It's a joy to see what a good and loving father Nick is to his little boys. His job is a very demanding one but he makes time for the boys many days of the week. They might not appreciate it fully now but they sure will when they grow up and remember all the time they had with their father. Bev is a wonder, too, taking care to become a good and loving step-mother to the boys. She's a smart cookie who has tread gently into their little lives and they love her for it.
When they were ready to leave they cleaned up every bit of the toys and put them away. They always have done that with little prodding...such good children!
I am so very grateful to be part of their lives!
