Too bad the LeRoy boys are deprived of Love from their Aunts





Jacob and Jonah wanted to see more pictures of their Aunts because, as Jonah says, "They are the best." Reba and I only provide food and shelter to the boys where their aunts are fun, energetic, and funny. We are so exhausted by the end of the day that the energy rarely flows from these bodies. Their Aunt Sarah moved up here from Colorado to be close to the boys growing up and I believe that was a great decision. When she first moved here almost two years ago, they kept asking her when she was flying home because they weren't used to her showing up for birthdays and an occasional night for dinner. If Jonah had a cell phone, her number would be on his permanent speed dial. Since Jonah will never have a cell phone, using ours will have to do. The kids out of nowhere will ask to call Sarah at work because they have something they want to only ask her and not us. So, it has already started, Sarah will be the one bailing them out of situations and we will have no idea.

No Hannah finally got on board this family train and has just moved here from New York to be closer to her boys and also a job in the area. She is a Youth Director and is now only an hour away. The kids have been quickly adjusting to her being able to pop over for the weekend or to attend a birthday celebration. She was able to come to Jonah soccer game last weekend and he couldn't have been more thrilled. Noah loves to play around with Hannah and in fact asked the other night why she was putting him to bed instead of me. They get so attached so quickly. Jacob and Jonah were able to see Hannah new apartment and now they want to share an apartment next door to Hannah. They said, "Don't worry, if we need any help, Hannah will be there to take care of us. If we get scared in the night, we will climb in bed with her." So there you go Hannah, looks like you will be having new neighbors.

Reba and I really appreciate all of the support from Hannah and Sarah. They love our children and we love that they are a part of their lives. We have also enjoyed having them close and are really getting used to them being around.

I would rather have them for neighbors than my current super-smokey scary neighbors!

I love them, too. Jonah is such a crack up, I always love his phone conversations - recent examples "What's with the we're" and "Can you take us to Florida?" I couldn't be happier to live near them!
