Day 79: Being an Auntie

I love E2 (think of that as e-squared). I love being an Auntie to them. What I don't love is the distance but it is what it is. We make the best of it. My nephew and niece are just about the most amazing kiddos ever. I adore them. They make me feel grateful for numerous things. When I get to see them and interact with them I am grateful. Their smiles make me grateful. That I have had the simple pleasure of holding them as newborns and breathing in their smell and rocking them to sleep makes me beyond grateful. I'm grateful that despite the distance my awesome brother and seester (in law) post a picture a day of them so we can see them daily and not feel like they have grown up in a blink. (Which it feels like anyway but seeing them everyday helps it to not feel so jarring!) Here's some recent pictures of E2 (both of their names start with an "E" thus I dubbed them e-squared when the second one was born!).
