These kids! I seriously have never seen children so full of life and high spirits as these two nephews of mine: Owen and Enzo. I come home for lunch every day and most often they are there waiting. My heart actually does a little leap when I see their shoes strewn carelessly outside the door and I go inside prepared, once again, to be swept into their wild, hectic life.

Here they are watching themselves on video. Shelley (more on her later) taped them dancing on the roof one night (you can see it on youtube!) and they are their own best audience: as their Dad would say: “Look at me! Aren’t I great?”
