These Kiddos Are A Damn Good Reason Why I get up in the Morning

These three sweethearts are a big part of why I get up in the morning every day. They aren't the only reason but they are a really big part of it and I just wish I could see them more then once a year. They are my buddies & the children of my best friend Cathy. They grow so quickly & I miss out on so much. I went up in 2005 when Cole was barley a month old & then I saw them in Feb. of 2006 when Cathy & Jamie came down to Florida. Sydney is my sweetie & my oldest goddaughter. She has her confirmation & first communion coming up at the end of April. I've gotten her gift ready to send, but I'm trying to arrange it so that I can be up there that weekend & surprise her. I have yet to see the new house as well. Poor kiddos, they didn't know how to act with me last year, barely being able to hug them nor could I crawl around with them like I did the year before. I don't know who was more upset by that, Blake or myself. It's just hard sometimes. They color me pictures & make me gifts & I love to receive their care packages of love & kisses. These three live the farthest away from me up there in Ottawa and then there is my sweet Ellie in Texas who I have yet to meet. On of these days I'll get out there.
