Magic in their Eyes…

by Marguerite Crespillo
Earlier this year we were blessed with our newest grandbaby, Jaden! Even more blessed is he lives part time in our guest house so we get to spend a lot of time with him.

Considering that his dad, our son Jake is 28 years old it has been a while since we had little ones around the home and what a joy it has been.

I think when your own kids are young, you are so busy figuring it all out that you forget a lot of the day to day time you spent with them and how much energy they take haha.

I guess there is a reason you have kids when you are younger right?!?

The best part is a reminder of the magic of the holidays. To be reminded to see the world through the eyes of a little one is the greatest gift of all.

I personally know how hard life can be at times and all the challenges we face with the day to day and the expensive nature of the current world and also realize it is soooo much harder for many and I am reminded every day to be grateful and to find ways to give back to those who are struggling.

I am reminded to take a few moments and look at life through the innocent eyes of a child and all the wonder and excitement that abound this time of year.

My hope for you this year is a few of those magical moments. And if you or your family are struggling, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t hesitate to reach out. There is always room at our dinner table no matter who you are and if I can help in other ways, I will! 

Wishing you a season filled with child like joy and happiness!

Warmly,

Marguerite & Joe
