it's raining outside and since i can't sleep cos i miss max (esp on a night like this)... this makes me smile.

i talked to my baby niece Marina today.
she happily told me she got her costume.
"what are you going to be baby?"
"auntie mickey, i'm going to be a ballerina!!!"


precious.

these are cell phone pics of her last visit.
she's with auntie marianne and auntie maddie, my seesters.
twinkie kept complaining about her chin (silly girl) and marina promised she could help, she could fix it.

does that not just warm your heart???

and in the second one... she's got that Big Lechuga Smile.


i can't wait to see my baby nieces for Christmas. It's the best present ever.
i heard sophia (marina's baby seester) finally say my name today.

it warmed my heart.
