Our family reunion at Stowe was wonderful - five kids, the oldest being six, two boys coping with English as a second language, not enough sleep, always eating, sometimes playing, sometimes not. What made it so precious was the fact that the adults in the room (ha!) knew that this was a very rare occasion. We are separated by an ocean, travel is expensive, and life gets complicated. In spite of the fact that there was not a minute when at least one child was experiencing a complete meltdown, I shall look back on this week in those beautiful green mountains as one of the most rewarding weeks of my life. What a gift, I am blessed.
