At least two lifetimes ago I nannied for an incredible family in Fargo/Moorhead. Oh how special my time there was. My sweet little D was my first little guy of many. He was only two when I started and almost 4 when we said goodbye. We shared such a special bond in those early years. He was a ring bearer in our wedding. He asked me, "Miss Shelly, when are we going to go on OUR honeymoon?" when he saw pics of Brandon and I in Mexico. He and I had Wednesday night date nights. Then we moved to seminary for 4 years and now to the Lake for 10 years. Well, this little man is now a high school graduate, a real adult, a current college student... just like was when I met him! OK, I am teary as I type this!
Amazingly, they had a trip planned to our area and we were able to see them for a couple of hours. What a joy it was to spend time with them and to catch up on my sweet boys now men!

After our friends left we stayed on at the park for playgroup and my kids climbed HIGH in the trees. M is pretty much at the top of the tree the moms are standing under. I had no idea how high he was until this point and was freaking out once I realized it. I am thankful that I let him take the risk and thankful that he got out of the tree in one piece.
