MEETING MY NEPHEW {WINNIPEG CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHER IN PHOENIX}

I spent Thursday morning in a frenzied rush, cleaning the house, giving kids chores right and left (with promises for ice cream shakes if they helped me out), weeding the garden, hauling garbage to the dump, finishing laundry, and packing up me and the kids' necessities for the next three and a half weeks. We took out of our house at 1:10 pm, 10 minutes later than planned. Factor in time for going back home three minutes later because we'd forgotten the dog, and we were only about 20 minutes behind schedule.  After a three hour drive, dropping the dog off at her sitter, and then a three hour flight (don't even ask how that went!), we were finally at our destination: Phoenix!! Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go..... Phoenix is where we spend a few months out of the year, and here is where my parents and brother and his family live year-round. In April my brother and his beautiful wife had a new baby, who is only 14 months younger than his older sister, who is only 15 months younger than her older brother. If anyone is counting, this new little nephew of mine is the third in 30 months!!   And they definitely know how to make them! When I looked into these bright blue eyes.....

and saw this lop-sided little grin....

I was hooked.

This rudy blue-eyed little beauty is Aunt Carmen's new buddy. I could just eat him up!! He's the most precious thing I've seen in quite a while, and perfectly lovable and cuddly and smiley. He really is as cute as the pics. What a doll!!
