I had a similar experience when my best friend, who lives in Europe, came to visit right around my son’s first birthday. She had last seen him when he was a tiny infant, no more than two months old, and I wanted so much for them to mutually enjoy each other’s company. She arrived late at night, after my son was already asleep. In the morning, when I went in to get my son, my friend tiptoed in behind me. When he spotted my friend, he gave her a HUGE, friendly grin!

I think he picked up on my own happiness and joy at having her there.

I loved reading this. The photos are amazing too.

I remember having a similar experience with my nephew when he was new. He lives in CA and I am in Seattle, but whenever I would see him, and it was maybe once or twice a year, he just KNEW that I was not a stranger, and that I was more than just some random person dropping in for a visit.

I’m with Kari on this one. When’s your trip out west? Any interest in a Bay Area CA layover?

Your sis really looks like you! :)

And I simply love those shots, especially with that kind of light at the park!
