Uncle Larry

My family was taking family photos recently and who should appear....Larry King and his wife Shawn.  While everyone else was whispering and saying, "That's Larry King," I just piped up and said, "Hey Larry, you wanna be in our family photo?"  He was such a great sport and he jumped right in and took about 10 shots with us.  Then after he hung around for a few minutes and told us a story about him and President Reagan.  It was fun. 

(When Larry agreed to be in our picture we were all kind of scattered and so in this particular photo we are missing a few people, but it was easier to post this pic because my husband isn't in it and I don't have to blur his face.)

Bit of Sunshine

While I sit here and wait for the phone to ring to tell us we are A-OK (see blog post below) I decided to blog about happy things. 

All of my life I have waited to become an auntie.  Next to being a mom I think that being an auntie is the greatest thing ever.  When I married my husband I inherited about a million nieces and nephews and they are all great!  Unfortunately, none of them live even remotely close and most of them are older; I think our oldest nephew is 31, I don't think he'd appreciate me bouncing him on my knee.  However, last December my brother and his wife blessed us with a beautiful baby girl and I adore her.  The best part is that she lives only a few minutes away.  I am ecstatic that my son will have a cousin close to his age that lives near by.  I hope this little girl grows up knowing how much I love her and how long I have waited for her.
