  I must admit I am thoroughly enjoying the visit from my in-laws. Our past wasn't that great, but I am so happy that it is has grown into a wonderful and very beautiful relationship.
Of course for myself and my sanity, but more importantly for my children and their well being. I think it is very important for them to know their family. I am working on my father in law, but he is a little more distant that the other grandparents. He wasn't really hands on with Ed to begin with.
When I see my children interact with their auntie and uncle and grandparents I see the love they have for each other and it warms my heart. I guess for the most part because I didn't grow up with a lot of that. I think that is why I long for that type of relationship for my children...it is one of the things I lacked in my life and I think it is important to hold special memories with your grandparents.
I know the few that I do have with my grandmothers, I hold very near and dear to my heart. So anyway, just to update and let you know how wonderful my visit with my in-laws is going. I know the kids are going to miss them so much when they leave again. It is too bad we live so far from them now. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
