Once in a lifetime

Julia is in Brasilia, Brazil for 2 weeks! She left last week with my mom who took on her this amazing trip for her 10th birthday. We miss her a lot and are SO happy for her that she gets to experience this. We talk to her daily on FaceTime which helps a lot! She is the perfect age for this trip- old enough to appreciate and take it all in! She is enjoying every minute and being a little spoiled too!
What's surprising for me is what I miss the most- I miss not being able to experience this with her. I love that she is with my mom and that their special relationship is being even more strengthened but I also wish that I was there too to see her face as she experiences all that a new country has to offer her. Next time!
