Auntie!

Just found out this week that I'm going to be an auntie again!  This will be number 6, and I hope it's a girl so SHE can balance out the testosterone-dominant nephew/niece race.  (6 kids in 5 years from two brothers?  Yeah I call that a race.)  Even if it is a girl, though, it will still only be 2 girls v. 4 boys.  And what happens after that, nobody knows...

I love being an aunt.  Being called "Auntie Ri" (usually with a few exclamation marks behind it, and almost invariably the "ree" sound is pronounced "wee"!) is quite possibly the sweetest thing I've ever experienced.  Our family is really blessed to have this many kiddos in a short time, and I love every one of 'em!  I do wish the other half of them were within driving distance though...  *hint hint*  hee hee...  and the tug'o'war continues.

I know how one half can be within driving distance ;)... Not a very fair trade, I know... but I'm being selfish and that's OK once in a while :)
