So about a month ago, I had the pleasure of watching my 18 month old nephew for an afternoon while his mom/my baby sister had a...I thought "routine"...doctor appointment. When she arrived home, however, she apologized for being so long and said, "but I've got pictures!" I totally came out of my chair...obviously I wasn't expecting that. She REALLY surprised me! So come Christmas time...I'll have another sweet baby to hold.
Then last week, on my way to coffee with girlfriends, I decided to place a call to my (hardest to catch) sister and, to my great surprise, she answered the phone! It was great to chat with her, but as I pulled in to my parking spot, I tried to gently end the conversation with something like, "It was great talking to you. I'll let you get on with your math lesson," when she interrupts with, "Well...do you want the red pill or the blue pill?" I quickly recognize the "Matrix" reference and, forgetting which is which, say, "Tell me, tell me!" This is how I found out that she is having her 4th child in January. (Funny, I wasn't surprised by this news at all!) She has a soon to be 10yo girl, nearly 8yo girl and almost 6yo boy...they are THRILLED, as am I.
I love being an aunt...it's the (second) best job in the world.
