Family ties

Well..as much as the family disrupts my attempt at a sedentary mode, we missed our oldest daughter very much over the fourth of july dinner. She's been recovering from a bit of surgery that followed the complications after Anna's birth. It was a lovely weekend, but there was definitely a large piece missing with Theresa and her family not here.Sometimes I'm guilty of seeing the crowd as a constant and maybe don't appreciate each individual within it as much as they deserve. Maybe it's way too easy to fall into this, especially when faced with a half dozen tots holding out plates at once. But that's a reason...there's no excuse for it.
I think I'll go knit her some prayer socks. She's not a shawl person.
