Prepare for immediate melting

Just like Megan said yesterday with her need to get her baby fix, when I need my kiddie fix, I make sure I visit my nieces and nephew.


I was able to visit them last Friday and its always a treat to see how excited they get to see me. I always feel like they’ll look at me, roll their eyes and say, ‘pssshh, its just Auntie, no big.’

::they’re 5 and 6::

But they don’t. They squeal AUNTIE! run and hug me or play coy until I hound them for my hug. I had only intended to stay for a little bit but as the evening wore on, my nephew comes out from inside the house and asked me if I would stay for dinner.

Well, melt my heart, how could I tell him no?!


The kiddies and I stayed outside in the front yard, which is a big deal for me being out in the front yard, and we played all while my brother in law cooked dinner. (my sister was at the gym)


We had a blast. A true blast. Beside the fact the baby fell down the steps right next to me (bad Auntie), and my nephew getting his handle bar right in his hip flexor, all went beautifully.
As they prepared their pose…


She stayed on the porch, straining to see what she was missing out on.

So, I gave her some attention

and let her have fun with the others.




This sweet one is a darn near spitting image of my sister.

I’m very glad I stayed for dinner and got a few more hours with them. I left with a warm heart and great memories.
