My brother and his kids stopped by this weekend to exchange gifts. While they live only about an hour away we only see them about once a year. Like most kids these days their lives seem to be scheduled from morning to night with school, lessons and teams. Besides Birthdays and Christmas we don't make enough effort to get our schedules to work out.
It was so great to spend some time with them and get to know them better. Bradley talked non-stop reading from his book of world records or telling us what was going to happen each minute of the movie we watched. Leah played DJ with her new ipod, showed us her skills in origami and beat us all in Jenga.
It was a good reminder that I really need to make more of an effort to include these special little people more in my live.
