A few weeks ago two of Doug’s nephews came to visit us and take in the DC sights. Andrew (17), Brock (15), and their friend Darren. We loved having them. Eliza especially soaked up the attention, outings, and late night visiting. Since their departure she has said to me on a daily basis (actually several times daily), “Mommy – I miss my cousins.” I keep telling her we will be seeing them soon. But this has not yet pacificed her pining. Nice to know you are missed boys!
Below are some pictures of their stay.

At the Vietnam Memorial with Andrew and Brock. Note the name of Doug’s uncle who was killed in the war on the wall above. They visited the Wall on Veteran’s Day and were quite moved by a National Parks guide who was giving a presentation about the Memorial.

Five children in four years, including two sets of twins, brought new meaning to Mary Oliver's earnest question. Our little people aren't so little anymore, but life is still wild, still precious. And this is my meager attempt to hold on, make it last. I love Doug, running, hiking in the mountains, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, the edge of an ocean, and connecting with you here. So happy to have you along.
