It's the last day of school! Normally I would be shouting hooray from the roof tops, but today is a bit bitter sweet. The end of school means the end of Melissa (or Lissa as Ethan and Ella call her). She has kept Ethan and Ella for me since Ethan was two and Ella was six months old. She and Jack have come every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to play, paint, draw, swing, and do just about anything a boy or girl could dream of doing. She and her children have become part of our family. I can't imagine going back to work and leaving my babies with any one else. She is an amazingly special person with a true heart of gold. Every morning Ethan sits at the breakfast table and says, "Is Lissa coming today?" If the answer is yes he yells, "YEAH!" If the answer is no he replies, "Why can't she come today?" Ella squeals with delight the second she walks in the door and cries when she leaves. If there ever was a Mary Poppins it is Melissa. I am so looking forward to spending some extra time with my babies this summer, but it is with a sad heart that I know we will never be able to replace our "Lissa."
