It's so hard to say goodbye.

I’ve been slightly absent from the blogging world the past few weeks. It’s because I’ve have been trying to spend every spare minute with my sister, Leah, and her family. Her husband Ben just graduated from medical school (congratulations Ben!!) and they moved to Ohio for his residency.

We are so proud of Ben, and we are excited for this new chapter in their life, but I can’t tell you how much we’ll miss them and their girls. I’ve been a lucky Auntie to live close to them for so long. I’ve been trying to fill up my tank with lots of hugs and kisses from my adorable nieces.

This is me and my niece Eden—were pretty much best friends. Isn’t she adorable?

Sister picture! Me and my three beautiful sisters. I’m so lucky! This was right before we all started crying. A very tearful goodbye. I mean with four girls, just imagine the waterworks!

We miss you already Coleman family! See you soon!

Take one and call me in the morning

This past weekend my sister and her adorable girls, Eden, Grace, and Clarie spent the weekend at our house. We had a great time playing, reading stories, and swimming. I absolutely love my nieces to death, and they just say the funniest things.

We were in the kitchen fixing a snack with Grace and Eden. Eden accidentally bit her tongue and was understandably upset. To comfort her I told her that I would be the doctor and I would help fix her up. I gave her five jelly beans as medicine and told her to take those to make her feel better. Eden thought that wasn’t a bad deal, but Grace wasn’t falling for it. She confidently said, “You can’t be a doctor—only boys can be doctors.” It was hilarious! See, her dad just graduated from medical school last Friday, so I kind of understand her logic. But I smiled and told her the good news--girls actually can be doctors! In fact, I told her that girls can do everything! So to all of my smart, beautiful nieces don’t ever forget that you can be anything you want to be…even a doctor!
