Seeing Jennifer and the boys last night was a gift. She's here for work and she brought the boys with her (Jeff was here for work as well but he went back before we got a chance to see him). They have grown so much and are so sweet, I knew they would be. To watch them play, talk, eat and read was pure heaven. Oh I hope they move to Ottawa. Or Newfoundland. Somewhere where I am guaranteed to be able to spend more time with them. When K got up in Jason's arms last night and wanted him to read books (quite quickly, but still reading!) I coudl ahve cried. He, at one point, put his arm around Jason and it was such a genuine gesture of "hey I am your friend, I like you". C. is a hoot, a superstar waiting to be discovered. Funny, personable and will talk to you for hours on end, we have a lot in common with that last trait. A twin but definitely not the same. Two lovely 2 year old boys who are being raised by two of the most caring loving people in the world. Boy did they luck out. I miss all of them so much but brief get togethers like last night's will keep me going. Waiting for the next get together.
Jennifer made noodles for Jacob last night, gave him cookies and milk, took care of him like she saw him every day. I am so grateful Jacob has Jennifer and Jeff and the boys in his life - for many reasons. We are so lucky to have been posted to Yellowknife, so lucky to have met such great people, such great friends.
