neices & nephews & long talks with great friends!

so i was in castle rock a couple weeks ago to visit my sis and 2 little lovies! it was such a great time snuggling, rocking, feeding, burping, playing outside, getting in and out of carseats several times, laughing, tickling, making coffee and cookies and chatting with my sis, seeing my brother in-law play in the worship band, . . . man, i love these kiddos!







oh i just love that little smile!

my other 2 little loves are Story and Susanna, my sister Julia's kids who all live in wisconsin! so do you think i ever get to see them anymore??? i miss them like crazy! and i miss my sister so much! what a blessing great sisters are! but it just plain sucks when we are so far apart!





doesn't this one just crack you up? she is just beyond cuteness!


you know what just absolutely made my day yesterday - i got to have a great talk with my dear friend who is in egypt for 2 years! what a blessing and encouragement.

happy thursday!
