Day 8 and 9

Day 8 and 9:

I am playing catch up with these posts in order to get back on track, so this is a double whammy!

Day 8: My Aunt Rita!

She is the wife of my recently passed Uncle David that I wrote about often in his battle with cancer. Rita and Uncle David got married when I was about 4 or 5 years old so I have no memories of Uncle David before she was around! With Aunt Rita came two new cousins as well- Jacob and Jessica (Jessi!) Jessi is mom to my ADORABLE two baby cousins Lilly and Layla that I have written about before too! (more on them later...)

I think the world of my Aunt Rita.. she is the perfect mix of sweet, funny, organized, teacher, mother, wife, aunt, (etc)... I love to sit and talk with her in her kitchen or help her bake. She is so wonderful to talk to and makes you feel like you are the only person on the planet because she gives you her undivided attention. She is a strong Christian women that adores her kids and her grand-babies with all her heart. I want to be just like her when I grow up!

Day 9:

LITTLE COUSINS!

These beautiful girls make my heart so happy! I don't get to see them as much as I would like but every time I do, I SO cherish it. My cousin Jessi is a great momma and I know her girls will grow up to be sweet, funny, smart, beautiful girls that love God and their family just as much as she does.

Lilly Catherine will be 3 in February, and Layla Kay will turn 1!
