My Favorite Little Ones

These three little kids. I can't get enough of them. If you don't know me then you wouldn't know that I was born twelve years after my nearest aged sibling. That is one large age gap! So I grew up being what I called "a basically only child." I had siblings, but they acted more like mini parents than sisters and a brother. I wouldn't have it any other way. Their parenting gave me the most creative and fun birthday parties ever!

Better than fun birthday parties though was the chance the age difference gave me to become an aunt at age nine. These three truly are my best friends. I love them so much! They are going to change so much while I am on a mission. One quote is keeping me going.

"A missionary is someone who leaves their family for a short time so that others can be with their families forever." 

Helping others establish their forever families is an opportunity I feel so blessed and honored to be a part of.
