Ohhhhh..... my little loves

North Carolina has taken me away from 2 of the funniest kids I know; my niece and nephew. To live so far away from them I have had to deal many heart breaking obstacles.

With my nephew....

1. Re-introducing myself to my nephew everytime I see him.
2. Convincing him that "Ceed" and "Peepa" are two different people.
3. Getting him to talk to me on the phone... while being away he quickly gets shy and doesnt feel like talking to his aunt.
4. BIRTHDAYS!!! these are extremely hard, you realize he is another year older and you have missed more time in his life you can never get back....
5. Any life changing moments, talking increases, funny little tid bits, growing, etc.... God the list goes on and on...  Again times I cant get back.

My niece...

• New sports; basketball, softball, soccer, 'Michael Jackson dancing'.;)
• Elementary school, friends, Hopefully NEVER BOYFRIENDS!
• Birthdays. Yep, this hurts again...
• ART! She loves to draw and is actually good at it! I would love to just drive down and draw with her.... maybe cheesy but I think it's very important to share common interests together.
• Her friendship...

Wow, I couldnt even finish writing everything I wanted to put down. Big lump in the throat... I had the privildge of spending lots of time with her for 3 years. We gained a special connection and bond that I miss dearly. The good news is even though we dont see each other much or talk often when we do it is as if we never parted. :) Such a good feeling to know I have not lost my little buddy.

While I cant wait to see what wonderful, athletic, and fun kids these guys will turn out to be. I would like it to go slow so I can capture each moment and place in my memory bank so we all can keep that special bond an aunt shares with her little loves:)

Cant wait to see you guys again!!!
Love Peepa
