I have no idea what to use this for other than talking about what's up in life to get it out.

I have two AMAZING nephews. Jack is new to the picture, so I don't know him really yet, but Hayden is slowly becoming his own little man and it amazes me. Kids have a way of doing that I'm sure, but this is my first experience with one that I'm so close to. Ofcourse my cousins all have kids, and some of my closest friends have some great ones, but as much as I love them, they aren't my FAMILY as much as these two little guys are. I can only imagine what Tom and Renata feel for them, knowing how much they mean to me.

The pic above is one I took two weekends ago and I clicked it at the perfect time. I got both of them looking at the camera. They are so cute.

The pic below is of my dog Homer and me from Christmas 2004. He's looking at my dad instead of at the camera...go figure! :)

He's such an amazing dog. He's my best friend. :) He was named after Homer Simpson from "The Simpsons" on TV. He was the fattest, dumbest dog as a pup. But the name was VERY wrong for the dog he's become. He listens so well and is trained to do whatever I tell him. It's great. OFCOURSE he does have those days where he is a pain-wants to fight me every step of the way-but they are few and far between. He's a rock. There through thick and thin. My best friend! :)

There's more-but I'm wrapping this up for now. Peace
