Missing Family

I went to visit my sister and her family this past weekend. I made the long drive with my father. It was the birthday of my youngest nephew on Wednesday and the oldest on Friday, nevertheless a good weekend to visit. The last time I saw my nephews was nearly a year ago, right before Halloween. Kids grow so quickly. My oldest nephew who used to be about the same size as me is now about 6-7 inches taller than me and is considerably thinner and more athletic. I can no longer keep up with my youngest nephew who decided we should play tag and run around their entire building! I gave up I just couldn't catch the little bugger. My middle nephew is so sensitive, wise, and helpful. He too has grown. My niece, 2 years old now, has learned so many words including my name! She dances, runs, rides her bike, and has recently discovered her shadow whom she likes to talk to and dance with. My sister has probably lost 20 pounds...all of which I have gained (don't know how that one happened). I miss them all so much. Well until next time.
