A visit with K and S

This is my cute nephew, Sam.  He and his mom, my special sister, came to visit.  Sam is a long awaited gem of the family, both for his parents, and for me.

In the last couple of years, my sister and I have been able to spend more time together because both of us recently decided to become "domestic engineers" as opposed to the teachers we spent time and money becoming in our careers.

We have talked more, and exchanged common thoughts and advice, through visits and handwritten letters.  It has been an emotionally trying and emotionally rich, few years.  None of which, I would trade for anything.
