Growing

My nieces came to visit their favourite Aunty last week and of course I had to get the camera out and record their visit.

They are growing up so fast!!!!

Favourite picture - the last one.

It's November

So I did promise a few posts back that you would have to wait for November.

It's November.

Time for a Love Story (and before you get excited, it isn't mine)!

It was the end of June. My sister who lives in Florida happened to spot this fair beauty from afar. She hadn't seen her before but noticed she was sitting with my sisters friends. They have 2 little adopted kids and this fair beauty was playing with them. My sister enquired as to this strangers appearance and who she was. The answer was "she is my sister just visiting from New York".

How nice.

Is this sister you speak of single? Why yes she is! Oh joy! My brother is single and your sister is single. Would she like to be email pals with my brother? Why yes she would.

So started a lovely friendship. Emails turned into once a week 5 hours calls. These calls turned into a visit at the end of August.

The meeting place: Orlando, Florida.

They had 1 glorious week together and decided that this relationship should move forward.

They went back to their respective places of residence and continued their phone calls - which by this stage had become 3 times a day and 8 hours each weekend.

It was her turn to visit Sydney. She only had a week also. But it was enough time to decide they wanted to be married.

On 7 January 2010 in Orlando - where they first met, they will be married and I will have a new sister in law. And she will live in Sydney. This will be exciting as both my sisters live nowhere near me!

It has been a whirlwind romance. Congratulations! May you have lots of kids for me to take photos of and continue my reign as the Favourite Aunt!

One Picture ...... or maybe Two

How cute is little O!!!!

And the fact he said my name (so many times I might add) like a pro - which believe me, for a little kid to say my name is pretty amazing - made him my new best friend for that afternoon!

As you can tell, I have very high standards when choosing besties, saying my name is at the top of the list.

And then I decided to get all arty on his parents.

It was a great afternoon!

and another month rolls on by ......

I must have constipation of the mind! Things are going on but I can't think of what to write.
Oh well, take heart, it is nearly November.

Let me leave you with some pearls of wisdom:

Chuck Norris kills anyone that asks, "You want fries with that" because by now everyone should know that Chuck doesn't ever want fries with anything. Ever.

THE END
