My kids and parents were able to enjoy the beauty of New England's Fall - the mums, the pumpkins, the crisp air! There's something about the fall that makes you nostalgic, and having family here strengthens that feeling. It was great having my folks come and visit. My mom still goes into hyperdrive cooking, like she did when there were us 4 girls growing up, and I never tire of eating her cooking. My dad goes into handy helper mode - trying to fix things here and there; and we jokingly call him 'Photo Frank' as he is constantly making movies of the kids - much like when I was growing up. Seeing my kids together with them brings back memories of growing up. But a big smile creeps on my face seeing how much my kids look like my parents. It makes me happy to know I'll always have my parents with me in my kids.
