Ode to Uncle Jeff

I grew up with an Uncle Max, and I am ever so thankful that my kids have a semblance of one such uncle in their lives. Uncle Jeff is in town for a extended weekend visit… and though he thought it was to be a break from his kids, well, it’s not a break from mine. Julia, in particular, is enthralled with Uncle Jeff. Her first reaction when hearing he was coming for a visit was, “Oh great! He’s the one who lets me give him kitty kisses!” Uncle Jeff is a twin, for those of you who don’t know, and if Julia can just get his name straight, that would be one less thing to drive Uncle Warren, I mean Uncle Jeff batty! Uncle Jeff also has a daughter Julia’s age, but she talks about 95% less than Julia does, and it is beyond amusing to see his face as she continues to talk and talk his ear off. We are very accommodating to the strengthening of their relationship, and have let the car seats be switched out, table settings changed and even sent Julia in to wake up Uncle Jeff so that they can spend more time together. Uncle Jeff definitely has a new twin now! Thanks for a great visit.
