absence makes the heart grow sadder


My nephew lives WAY TOO FAR AWAY from me. I'm in Oklahoma, he's in Connecticut. It's just not acceptable! But there's nothing I can do about it (unfortunately...) and so all I can do is make the most of my time with baby James when I actually do get to see him. Over Christmas I took every opportunity I could to cuddle James, feed James, rock James, bathe James, clothe James...whatever it was, if I wasn't taking care of my own kids, I was doing it for James! Several times I had the honor of cuddling James while he slept. Love! There are no words to describe how it felt to hold a baby again and have him snuggle in tight and rest so peacefully. I love the way James' little fists curl into balls when he naps. I love his pouty lips and his dimpled chin. I could look at him all day. I hope the next time I see James he'll still be "baby" enough to cuddle with his Auntie for more naps.
