A day with Grammy, Poppy and Nana

Grammy and Poppy are here today (Sunday) to help add extra hands and enjoy some family time. As with anyone who walks in the door, they were quickly handed babies and put to work. Grammy, Poppy and Nana handled feeding the boys so Rob could get some school work completed and I could sneak in a shower.

We have a beautiful fall day on our hands, so we decided to talk a jaunt outside. Each grandparent got to carry a baby, while I walked Julep. Halfway through the walk, we were cutting through a small side road off of a very busy street, and what did we see ahead of us on the sidewalk? A turkey, of course. There was a huge wild turkey wandering the streets of Boston. Thankfully, Julep, who apparently forgot to bring her hunting instinct on the trip, was oblivious to the whole thing. As were the boys. So we passed the turkey, thinking that would be the only oddity of the walk, only to find ourselves in a swarm of people in the middle of a breast cancer charity walk. Had we known, we would have gathered pledges to raise money for the charity!

Yesterday, the boys got to meet their Uncle Jamie and Aunt Meg and their adorable 9 month old, Jack. Not only was it great to see them and meet Jack, but the added bonus was to see that there is a light at the end of the infant tunnel. Rob and I kept looking at Jack, saying "He can sit up! He smiles! He laughs! He eats solid food!" I imagine in the blink of an eye, the boys will be at Jack's age and we'll be thinking back to when they were infants. All the more reason that we must live in the present moment and enjoy it to its fullest, as opposed to living in the future or past. Because time flies!
