Best thing ever. From Chookooloonks.

I posted last week as well.

This week, a little collage, courtesy of this awesome spot:

This is me with my girls (in clockwise order) Carys (the top two), Josie, and Olivia. Carys is the gorgeous daughter of Lorelei and Orlando, Josie is Kim and Matt’s beautiful girl, and the very sweet Olivia belongs to Jaime and Brad.

I have gazillions of photos of me holding my friends’ babies. I’m always amazed at how dramatically they reflect their parents’ personalities, appearances and moods. Sometimes it really feels like I’m holding a little Lorelei or a wee Jaime.

It makes my day to make them laugh, really. Or to give them a bottle. Or to watch them fall asleep.

Being Auntie Meg is one of the best things in my life.

Now I know it has all been practice for when someone who doesn’t look like me is placed in my arms for me to keep forever.

These babies I have to give back, as much as I adore them. But that one?

That one will be mine.

And I will love it more than life.
