Watching the little ladies at Revolution grow so quickly (and cutely!)

Annapolis' Farmers Market on Sunday mornings.

Watching Cleveland sports in real time, not recorded to watch the next day.

Alivia's greetings. She's got the 'make you feel special' greeting patented, I swear.

Being able to come and go as we please with the ability to read every street sign, every nutrition label, every magazine headline in line at a store...

Crafternoons with Lauren's cricket, Barbara's generosity with every craft accessory ever created, and Holly's determination to make anything work.

Revolution Softball in the spring.

Ramirez.

Texting friends and having them able to text back immediately because we don't have a time differential.
