Henry and Bryn have met some awesome neighbors and it's so gratifying to watch these relationships evolve as they grow older. One of these special people is Miss Elspeth, who fed us gourmet meals when we were trying to survive the sleepless days and nights after H and B were born, is the only person we know that finds a 4 leaf clover within minutes of searching, and has the best accent this side of the Atlantic. She now walks to school to pick them up on the 3 days I work and they spend their time playing at the school park, reading books or cooking up some treats until Jay gets home from school. It's worked out so well that it's easy to take it for granted. Yesterday she invited them over as I was studying and Jay was doing some basement project. They made a dress up costume out of boxes for H- town, learned a new rhyme and were given a new book about Arthur Ashe and his daughter. Oh, almost forgot the new gloves she bought them..... Today I got the below email from her with the picture that she took of them after school one day.
Thank you, Sarah & Jay,
For letting me spend time with Bryn & Henry. I don't think of Tues. Th. & Fri. afternoons as a job, but as a privilege. Elspeth
Thank you Miss Elspeth for being the positive, warm, creative and fun person that we all adore.
