sweet pea

i have a great niece

which makes my sister and i grin...because this fact means we're getting older

{our brother is a grandfather...our father is a great-grandfather!}

our great aunts were rose, helen...

hmmmm...we're now the "i think they're my mom's cousins" people at bridal showers

but when i look at MY beautiful great niece

i don't care if i'm getting old

watching the ebb and flow of our family's generations

and having our newest addition/edition smile at me

makes me love family all the more
