People I Love

OOOH! Look at Munchkin's cheeks! I could just die I love them so much!

This picture is a couple years old. My kids look nothing like this now. But it's still one of my favorites of them with my sister. They adore Aunt Melissa, and I have to agree. My sister is one of the people I most admire in my life. I wish I had her drive and her ability to see exactly what she wants. I've never seen her let anything get in the way of achieving her goals once she has them set. It's quite impressive to watch. If one way doesn't work, she'll find her own path, thank you very much.

And to see her with my kids (or anyone's kids) is so much fun. Her flair for drama and laughter are just perfect. No one is better at getting a smile out of grumpy-just woke up-hate the world-Munchkin than Aunt Melissa. She understands these things.

Plus, she knows exactly what I mean when I say I'm both terrified and relieved to know I'm destined to become my mother.

Melissa, I love you! I'm so proud of you for making this big move to graduate school!

Just one last thing: Straight up, now tell me is it gonna be you and me forever?
