a great weekend

i had such a fun weekend spending lots of time with two people that i absolutely adore - my moondoggie (aka - my hubby) and my niece!!

my moondoggie is in a grad program so he spends a lot of time studying and doing homework. i'm so thankful that he is doing the program now, when we don't have any little ones running around. and i am so proud of him for all the hard work he does!! but... all in all we don't get to spend that much time together.

my niece, is really not my niece, but she may as well be. her mother, is my cousin and practically my sister. we were born within two days of each other and the first 20 years of our lives we lived less than 2 miles away from each other. since i'm an only child, she is my sister and her daughter means the absolute world to me. i'm not lying when i say i am crazy about my niece. she makes my world so much happier.

this weekend was her 2nd birthday. saturday morning we went to her birthday party at a park by her house, and then that evening we got to spend more time together. we had some great moments together, she read to me, and i got to put her down for the evening. my niece is not much of a cuddler, so those rare moments when i can hold her for more than a minute really pull at my maternal heart strings.

the next day my moondoggie and i took her to the aquarium... and we had a blast!! she was in such a good mood, and we had so much fun with her. here are a few fun pictures of our weekend together!!


overall... this was one of the best weekends i've had in a long time!! hope the week goes just as well!!
