More Hugs, Please

I have to share with you one of my happiest moments this week. Yesterday, I stopped by the babysitter's house where Clay and Livvy stay. I knocked, walked in as usual, and continued down the hall to the den where the children play. Both were sitting on the sofa watching TV, that is, until they spotted MaBoo at the door. I have never seen 2 children jump up so fast and come running up to me, hugging me and calling my name! Now, this was a real thrill to the Gran! They began telling me all about their trip to the beach, how they went to the aquarium and touched the starfish, etc. They were so excited, and so was I. It seemed that Clay had grown a foot while he was gone, maybe because he had such a cute little boy hair cut. And Livvy was as cute as ever.

Some other great moments came when they said, "We had fun at the beach and we're going again and MaBoo and PaPa are going with us!" That is correct! We are going together in about 10 more days. I really do want to go with them, but I will surely miss those loving, exciting hugs I received after we hadn't seen each other in almost a week.
