Sisters to each other = nieces to me

God saw fit to truly bless my life with a lot of nieces and nephews; and when I married into Larry's family, I gained 2 more nieces. My grand total is 13 nieces/nephews, and one new little one {Paige} on the way! Being an aunt is a wonderful title. I love my title with all my heart. Being a mom is the utmost loving job one could ever have, don't' get me wrong; but, aunt is a close second indeed!



All the nieces and nephews (except Albany, Chelsea, Dayton, Faith {and soon to be Paige}) live in Arizona, and because of this, I get to spend so much time with all of them. For me, the chaos of multiple children running around in my little (1200-sq feet) townhouse puts joy in my heart.



Last week, I had the joy of watching several of the little ones...Lizzie, Cayden, Alannah, Jimmy, Joey, and Jeffrey (and yes without Amanda at home - she was at camp). While watching these precious little ones, I captured this moment between the sisters in the group - Alannah and Lizzie





Lizzie, you are such a sweet, loving big sister to baby Alannah, and I think this picture {to me} captures that love wholeheartedly. Two little girls whom God chose to be sisters, friends, and {for me} nieces....God definitely knew what He was doing!
