6 + 6. sorta.

i checked the 6th picture in my 6th folder, but it was completely inappropriate & in no way suitable for this blog. or any blog, for that matter. so i hope you won't mind that i'm not really following the rules here.

in the spirit of sharing random photos, i've decided to share with you a little something i like to call, "stuff around aunt jess' house" by morgan ana. all photos were shot by mo while we waited for uncle g to take us on our date. please keep in mind that these pictures are straight out of the camera & have not been touched-up or corrected in any way (shocking, i know).

ladies & gentlemen,
i give you...

we love our newest niece so much already (and g was completely smitten & in love, let me tell ya).

congratulations ty & jennie
& welcome baby annika...

(see smitten & in love look on his face? i am not the only one who is obsessed with babies anymore.)

a night with mo.

friday night we took our little dedee on a date
dinner at chili's & home to watch harry potter.

she learned how to use my camera
and took some brilliant pictures of the floor, the ceiling, a tennis ball and my boobs.

the highlight, for both of us, was building a tower on uncle g's head
and sitting on his face during the entire movie.
lucky her, he never complained.

we love you, little mo.
thanks for being our date for the evening.

my mo.

My tiny Morgan Ana turned 4 on "danuary fif" so I am a little late in posting this, but I have been without a computer for the past couple days, so hopefully everyone can forgive!

This little lady is so close to my heart. My first niece, my McDonalds buddy, my "yittol" sister (as she likes to pretend), and every one's favorite tiny baby princess. I couldn't love her more.

I remember the day she was born, when I went to see her at the hospital; she was the tiniest little baby I'd ever seen. I used to beg her parents to let me babysit & take every opportunity I could to see my little Mo. I like to think we had a special bond, right from the start.

Now she is 4; complete with full sentences, writing her name, a backpack & a lunch box, a first crush at school & that little bit of sass we can't help but love. She is growing up way too fast.

Mo & I have shared so many fun times & special moments and I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to be so close to her. The one-on-one time I've had with her is a gift her Mom & Dad have given me; one that I will always cherish.

Happy Birthday my special girl!
I love you so much.
