Cousins

We are so lucky to live so close to cousins. Jackson's brother (with 4 kids) and sister (with 2 kids) live here in town. We see them at least once a week. We had Jackson's brother's family over for dinner last week. They came over right after church, which is why they are all dressed up. They all love to take turns holding baby Essie.

I love being an Aunt!

My sister Kara got engaged last week to a great guy named Cody. They are planning on getting married this summer. I am so happy for her. Cody is a very lucky man! Kara is going to be such a great wife and mother. Maybe within 5 years I will be an aunt on my side of the family!

"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now."

The Things They Say

Aunt Jamie- "Essie, do you go to preschool yet?"

Essie- "No, I will go to preschool when I am four." Pause..."But don't worry, I'll still love you when I am four."

In Fillmore there was a chicken in the back yard. Grandpa sent Nicholas and Thomas out to chase it back to the neighbor's yard. Thomas got to the chicken first and it started running in a big circle. As it came around the circle, Nicholas was running along behind and the chicken was coming straight at him. He threw his hands up in the air and started screaming! The chicken didn't get much closer before it gave up and flew over the fence.

About an hour later Aunt Jamie overheard Nicholas saying, "I thought that chicken was going to peck me to a frazzle!"
