(5 years later)
"Mommy! Can I watch that video of you?" 5-year old Alexia screamed out.
I walked down the steps into the family room. "Which tape?" I asked.
"The one where you and Daddy are holding hands on the beach and talking, then you're singing," she said smiling.
I laughed at the thought of when Justin and I did our "Disney 'In Concert' Special." That was really fun, but we were both really young. We were like 19 when we did that.
As I put the tape in for Alexia, Darin and Justin walked in the family room drying their hair off.
"Hey, where were you two?" I laughed.
"Aww Mom, you know where we were! The indoor pool!!!" Darin giggled.
I smiled at the uncanny resemblance of the two. The hair and the eyes did it. Darin had unruly curly brown hair, and dazzling blue eyes-just like his dad.
In ways, Alexia looked like Justin and me. Her eyes were green with brown specks, like mine, but she had Justin's nose. Her hair was straight, just like mine, but it was more of Justin's brown color.
Darin sat down on the couch with Alexia and Justin and I went to the kitchen to make popcorn. When it was done, we sat on the couch-just the four of us, like a real family.
