It's a gloomy Monday in my neck of the woods. Yesterday I heard DS say "I just remembered tomorrows Monday! I hate Mondays!" I told him he can't hate Mondays because he has no idea what a real Monday is like. Someday hes going to realize how spoiled he is being homeschooled and not having to get up at the buttcrack of dawn or before.
My family has gained a few new (furless) members in the last few weeks.The latest addition is pretty exciting to me because he marks the start of an entire new generation in our family. And makes my 97 year old Grandfather a Great-Great-Grandfather. That's a pretty cool blessing to see!
Are you an Aunt/Uncle?
I became an official Aunt when DH and I got married because he had a nephew and niece already. I don't have any blood siblings; but I have 4 step-siblings and I consider their kids nieces and nephews. I will be up to 14 nephews and nieces once the latest addition arrives this winter. I always thought I'd be the fun aunt who takes nieces and nephews for ice cream and to the park and for overnights (and then send them home ). Unfortunately NONE live near me so I've never gotten to do that.
I was close with some of my cousin's growing up; so their kids feel like nephews and nieces too. The more the merrier I guess!
