Blessed with Family:

TV time with Grandpa

Let me just start out by saying we are one lucky family.

We're lucky and fortunate for a number of reasons. In the last four years that we have lived in Orlando, we have managed to start new jobs in new state, parent two fur babies, buy a house, have a  baby and have ANOTHER (yes another) on the way.



But none of this would have been possible without our family.

You see, for the last 13 months we have been blessed to have our New York family be the caretakers of Isa.

Yes! It has been a revolving door of caretakers and live-in babysitters for Isa while Lynn and I work.

It has been AMAZING!


We know and realize we are more than lucky to have this arrangement.

There's no better arrangement for our daughter because she will grow-up knowing who her family is despite them living in a different state.


We are lucky to say the least.

In fact, I'm glad our daughter will be closer to her family than someone we have hired to raise her while I and Lynn work.

Because here's the thing.

The values I and Lynn were raised on will be the same ones Isa will learn from our parents.










What more could you ask for?

Not much.

So I guess the point of this post is to say "Thank You" to our parents who have raised us and are taking it upon themselves to do it again "a second time around" for their grandchildren.
