I’m not telling a lie when I say that these three kids are the reason Ramona is here today.  Cynthia’s kids brought so much sunshine to my life that I started to think I might be open to having one or two myself.  Really.  Each one, so entirely different, but all gregarious, bright and so so sweet.    I can sit and talk fashion with Nadine, draw viruses (yes, viruses) with Natalie, and cuddle up with baby Jimmy who already protects Ramona from his kitty cat.  Each one has my heart.  And their mama–Ahhhh, their mama–well let’s just say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  I love you, too Cynthia!
