Being an Aunt!

I became an Aunt for the 3rd time last Thursday!  Our first nephew, Kipp, arrived late in the day!  There is something so superbly special about being an Aunt.  You get to have these very special little people in your life, whom you love like they were your own!  You get to hug them and kiss them and give them lots of love, but to top it all off you get to be like the "fun parent".  Don't get me wrong, I don't parent my nieces or nephew, I just mean you get to have all the fun without having to be the disciplinarian, or the person who has to get up in the middle of the night...being an Aunt is so fantastic!!!  Not quite as good as being a parent...but still pretty great!   

Some Recent Funnies from the Armstrong House

Mommy: Carter what did you do at Krista's (our childcare provider) today?

Carter: I climb table with Morgan.

Mommy:  You climbed the table with Morgan?  What else did you do?

Carter:  I jump on table with Morgan and John.   (John is Krista's husband...)



Julie to me as I am feeding Maya:  Mommy which side is the milk and which side is the food?



Lauren to me as she is playing with Maya and I make supper:  Mommy, are you almost done making supper?  I am contemplating retirement from my job of entertaining Maya.  (and yes she really used the words contemplating, retirement and entertaing)
