daydreams again!


being here in seattle and watching my brother mark take care of his girls is like the best present anyone could give me. i didn't realize how much i had stopped daydreaming or thinking about my future (in the way that it relates to marriage, kids, family, etc..) until i got here and saw my big brother being such an amazing husband and dad.

there is something so awesome and unique about the relationship a dad can have with his daughter. i love the bond that my dad and i have - and i get choked up when i look at mark kissing on ava because i know that this sweet, beautiful little girl could never do anything to lessen the love that he has for her. i can almost see his heart swell when he kisses her nose. and she just looks up at him with these eyes that want to take in all of his love for her.

watching mark and jamie and ava together puts the i-sure-hope-a-hot-husband-and-sweet-baby-are-apart-of-my-next-ten-years bug in my brain.

but for now, i'll just be ava's adoring aunt who should buy stock in american apparel baby and baby gap. gees louise this little girl has crawled into every part of my heart (and bank account). love. her.
