Dust off the keyboard

I've added a niece and nephew to the family tree. Two new kids after thinking I was over the hard stuff, washing hair, tying shoes, teaching ABCs. Yet, here I am, with college, high school, jr. high, elementary, and kindergarten kids. But the amazing thing is what these kids have reminded my family of, family time, support, and love. We were so caught up in our routines that we didn't stop to see that we were growing apart.

One of my goals is to make these kids feel like they are part of my family, that they belong, have security. They are awesome kids and don't deserve the life they've been handed, and I have to show them that they have some control over their future, that they can make better choices than their mom did.
