Super blessed that my helicopter crew was near enough (3 hours) to my parents house...which means I lit-a-shuck for home when my 14 days was up!

My Sweet-sister-in-law captured and edited these photos of me and my handsome nephew while I was home. We just a little bit have a BLAST every time we hang out; also there may or may not have been lots of belly laughs and snorting giggles...also shameless raspberries.

He's just too precious for words! I'm one proud Auntie! Very blessed to see his little face and get sloppy kisses this summer.

My job takes me away from the people I love, but their love isn't base on hours spent together. Of that I am beyond thankful!

I want to encourage you (and me) to be genuine in our love for our special ones. Not measure it in gifts given, time spent, complements paid or anything surface. Instead give them the gift of trust. Trust that they value you and you value them. Trust that you have a mutual respect for boundaries and differences. Trust that our words and actions towards each other will be kind.
