Our niece, Emery, turned 1 last week and we all celebrated it on Saturday, the 6th. Andy and I don’t get a chance to visit family much so it was really fun to hang out with everyone and watch Emery devour cake. Aiden and Emery have both gotten so big. Last time I saw Emery, she was 6 months old at Kelly and Alex’s wedding. She spent most of the time passed out on my shoulder. Now she’s walking and has a total personality, both stubborn and really funny. Humor must run in the family because Aiden is a total ham. He likes to burst into song and dance spontaneously. He dances really well. And I love to hear his stories about his animals and their adventures. He still loves animals and will one minute be a little boy and the next a ferocious tiger. Such an imagination!
Living far from family definitely has its disadvantages, one is not being able to just hang out and relax, enjoy a meal without a family event going on. Luckily we got to do all three this weekend. I wish it was a monthly occurence. If only I could just teleport to MD/PA or had a magic closet that connected to a family member’s closet. I could just pop in on daily life. Have breakfast with the kids, go shopping with my sisters…they would probably get sick of me! I think I need to get a teleport closet for Louisiana and West Virginia too! How cool would that be?
