"Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use." Samuel Johnson

Two if by Sea


Benjamin was in his glory in Chile, surrounded by his three cousins, Constanza, Isidora, and Pia. The elder two doted on him every second that they could while Pia, only coming up on two years old, was quite jealous (check out her face in the picture) and made sure everyone knew that she was not happy about sharing her high chair and baby food with this intruder from the North!

Having already met and spent quite a bit of time with his boy cousins, Elijah and Caleb, it meant a lot to us for Benjamin to be able to get to know his beautiful girl cousins. He had a great time with the girls, even Pia who finally warmed up to him by the time we left.

The girls eagerly learned some English while we were there. They would say, "How big's the baby?", and "kisses!", and would giggle when he responded. When they will be together again no one can say, but they have a bond now that will remain.

I think our world would be an infinitely better place if everyone knew several languages in which to say "kisses!"

What a terrific picture, such happy joy!

You are blessed within your family with deep love.

Happy Easter dear heart
