30 Days of Thanks - Nieces and Nephews

Today I am thankful for our niece and future nephew. Caroline was unexpected, but she has brought so much joy to our lives. I think she's helped John realize how wonderful kids can be. And I know he'll be a good dad both from watching him with her and by our conversations about parenting that follow. Caroline is one of the sweetest girls I've ever known and she just loves life. She's recently taken to the phrase "Oh, I just love it!" And soon we'll have a little boy who is sure to be a wonderful addition to the family. It's great to be able to enjoy these little ones and pass them back to their parents. We aren't ready for our own so it's the best way to get baby/kid fixes.
