The kids had a blast. They splashed, floated and laughed. They raced each other down slides and encouraged the other one to go faster. And both got a little tougher from the rougher play they now enjoy. Without a doubt, we will be talking about for a very long time.
Our last summer adventure was in the small village of Lake Placid. The kids and I often accompany my husband when he travels, and I had hired a mother's helper to assist. I was 6 months pregnant and couldn't keep up with two non-swimmers in the lake.

Last summer, all I could do was dream of our family of 5. How Rachel and Sarah would grow up as sisters. Imagining Jonah's shrieks of delight, watching Sarah learn to smile. The new journey of being five.
And this winter? I am mourning it all.
