Lately...

Spending lots of quality time with this awesome nugget. I can hardly believe that my little niece is already four!

Doing lots of cooking with my love.

Enjoying the break in the heat. Being outside is no longer life threatening!

Visiting the Healing Field in remembrance of 9/11.

More in love with this amazing man every single day.

More Auntie Time

I spent my morning with these little hoodlums who were home sick from school so my sister could go to class and her husband wouldn't miss work. It's remarkable how they can be running wild one minute and napping with a fever the next. How did they get so big?

Freeze tag.

Can you believe the Boodj is 8 now? It's crazy!

We watched "UP."

I love the freckles on Cheeks' cheeks. 

Auntie Time

My sister called me this morning to see if I could hang out with "Peaches" for a little while. I'm always game to hang with this hilarious little nugget. She'll be three in July and talks a mile a minute. I told her we could have some girl time. We painted our nails and she did all of her own makeup - which was hilarious. I handed her a palette of about a dozen lip colors and a lip brush and she went to town. We looked at her baby pictures on the computer, took a walk around the neighborhood, and just had an all-around good time. I love this kid.

Very focused.

She loved it and would NOT let me touch it up for her.

The blush had sound effects that sounded like the "Zs" in Zsa Zsa Gabor. I call this her Anna Nicole face.

Blush on my neck? Don't mind if I do.

She kept giving me these super serious looks and when I asked why she didn't smile, she told me she was feeling serious. Diva. 

She hooked me up too. She was thrilled when she arrived and we were both wearing pink sun-dresses.

So proud.

I found Uncle Grit's candy! Bliss!

Checking out the backyard. She was concerned that we don't have toys back there.

This one is my favorite.

I love how determined she is. She knew right where she wanted to go.

Better Late than Never!
