Day Six:

Home. 

I am a proud aunt of 3 (soon to be 4) beautiful nieces. Being an aunt is my favorite part of life. As I always tell people, being an aunt is great because you get all the perks of having a kid without the responsibilities. Yay! 

My first blessing of a niece was Annalise, my brother's daughter. She's four years old and has quite the personality. She's a blast to be with and I love hanging out with her. Her mama, my sister-in-law, is expecting another little girl and we are SO excited. The more pink the better. :) 

My other two beautiful nieces are Kate and Grace. They're twins and came forth via my sister, Sara. SO cute! I love them lots. Sara, Austin, Kate, and Grace live in Chicago and about every month and a half or so, I get to see them. :) I love spending time with them and I soak up every chance I get to see them. 

Sara and the girls are in KC this week! This is so great and I'm so happy that they're close. The plan was for me to see them Friday and then go home to spend the weekend with them. Well, I was talking to my mum on the phone today and I just hated that I was so close (45 minute drive) but I wasn't taking advantage of it. So, right now, I'm in my house and I have been soaking in all the baby time I can get. :) 

Fortunately, I have late classes on Tuesday/Thursdays (see blog: 12:30) so I can stay here tonight and drive up in the morning with no problem! 

Also, I love the free food. Definitely a plus. 

The real babies are sleeping, so this was the closest thing I had.

...it's Annalise's.
