It sure has been nice to see my nieces and nephews! There is nothing better than my little guy, Evan, running into my arms as he shouts most excitedly, “Katie!” Or to have my little crush blush give me a shy smile when he sees me. Or to see Cora walk and talk! She even said my name… and smiles at me. Way better than playing strange! Or to have Freyja give me at least 4 hugs as I left Nana’s house. And then to have her run on the sidewalk parallel to my car yelling, “Bye Katie!” Despite the frequent tears and the loud voices, I simply ADORE my neices and nephews. I love that they love me. When driving home from an evening of boating, I had Evan and Vienna on either side of me both trying to secure my attention. Vienna tapping my shoulder repeatedly, and Evan reverberating my name over and over. It’s fabulous! The strangest part is that by the time Conor and I are finished with the Art Institute, Dylan will be driving AND dating, all of the Muirhead boys will be school boys, Freyja and Evan will also be in school full-time. Cora will become more of herself and Vienna will be breaking hearts! It’s insane. Plus Seger! And whatever other munchkins come along. I sure will miss those little pals of mine!
