labor day

i love my family!  i was so blessed when God created families because i hit the jackpot TWICE!  i was born to the most amazing parents and i continue to realize that more as i'm older and now a parent.  i also have the most fantastic relationship with my brother that any sister could ask for.  and 20 years ago when i moved here to lb, and i was "adopted" by my sister-in-law, mita's family, that made my life complete.  i've watched over the years as we always got together for family functions, just waiting until i could eventually have my kids involved in all of the fun things we do.  now that it's here i look forward to the holidays, trips, parties and random get-togethers more than ever.  
i was telling matt on our way to the beach that i worry now since all of my family's kids are grown that they'll stop doing as much and jake won't get to experience what we've been doing for the last 20 years.  i wish he was closer to his side because they have all of the little ones jake's age and i want him to have the memories with his cousins.  one can dream...
anyway, labor was a blast!  we all met at mother's beach and had a day filled with fun!  jake lived in the water and sand (and in the punch and chips) and sophie was passed around to everyone.  my dad was here which made it extra special.  life is good.
my nieces... best babysitters around!
