I FINALLY got to meet my nephew.
Here's what you need to know:
First, he's precious, beautiful, and has the best cheeks.
Second, he was born the day before the best day of MY life -my wedding. So I'll never forget his birthday, December 20th, because on that day, four years ago, I was preparing, laughing, and being merry.
Third, he belongs to me. Well, really he belongs to my sister, but he is part of me, too. It's amazing how quickly they do that -wiggle into your heart, and take firm hold to stay there forever.
Fourth, well -you fill it in with whatever you want. Happiness, baby snuggles, that irresistible baby smell, whatever. You can decide for yourself.
When he was born I couldn't be there. That was devastating. I was so very sick, and H was SO seseptable I just couldn't risk it, especially since baby Hud went to the NICU. Good call by us, but I had to wait TWO months to meet him! Lucky for me it paid off. :) Patience MAY be one of my virtues after all!
On the last day of my visit I was lucky enough to get an amazing set of photographs of him. So, here he is, folks.

SEE!!! Isn't he marvelous? I'm the luckiest aunt there is. :)
See you soon!
