We sadly don't get to spend a lot of time with our nieces and nephew since we live so far away but it's always fun to spend time with them when we visit. They especially love Eric because he's so good with kids!

I've found two in Connecticut so far. I have always wished that I was not the oldest out of my siblings because I would love to have nieces or nephews. I'm sure I will, but by that point I'll probably have my own kids and I imagine it will be a different relationship if I already have my own kids. Speaking as someone's niece, I always loved to spend time with my aunts and uncles one-on-one. I only had that experience on my mom's side of the family, but it's something I really treasure. Your nephews will look back on these days fondly, I am sure of it!Emiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363593720274547255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-61110658739835445672014-07-18T10:52:12.898-05:002014-07-18T10:52:12.898-05:00They are lucky to have you!

I love that you incorporate learning (in a fun way) on your dates with them, rather than just spoiling them (I say this with my bonus mom hat on, of course). I am sure they love this time with you and it will be fond memories for when they grow up! xoNorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673644115797850874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-44374972068233137102014-07-18T08:11:59.450-05:002014-07-18T08:11:59.450-05:00How I love this!

I think he has grown a foot or more! And his legs are so long! It looks like it was a perfect day! I hope to see that bookstore someday! Do they have a diaper on the chicken or is it trained? Just curious as I grew up on a farm and we raised chickens.
