How Sweet it is...

Can you see what makes this move so hard for us? Watching Annie and Ezra play today (a total of seven hours of harmony, connection and fun) while Sara and I sat on a blanket, knitting, chatting and enjoying each other, drives it home how much connection and "family" I have here in Santa Cruz. Annie and Ezra (who lives next door) have known each other since the day Ezra was born and we went to see him, Sara and Rob in the hospital, when Annie was just a tiny eight month old. Chloe (who lives next door on the other side) was Annie's first visitor when we brought her home from the hospital. Of course she was in Tiger's arms because she was a wee five month old. Sara and Tiger have seen me through every aspect of becoming a parent! Annie counts Chloe and Ezra to be her bestest friends ever! And for me it has been a privilege to watch all of these children grow and be a part of their lives in some way. Michael, Talia, Sabine, Kaily, Gabriel, Parker, Azula, now little Zia, Dallas, Wyatt, Natalie, and of course, Corinne, Chloe and Ezra. How sweet my life has been here on May Avenue.
