Family

The past week has been an uninteresting one. Nothing new has happened in my life, and things keep moving along at the same pace. Working a ton, sleeping a bunch, and keeping my house run smoothly. My head, on the other hand, has been a bit off this week. I am having, I suppose you could say, a down week. Things in my life have always been up and down so this is not ground breaking news. One thing has occurred to me, however. I find myself missing my family more than normal. Perhaps it is from pondering a wedding invitation I received. It is an out of state wedding of a distant cousin I haven't seen in years. Unfortunately I can not attend the wedding, but while trying to make it possible I kept thinking about my family. I don't have any specific reason but I just really miss them. Visiting some is geographically easier than others but seeing any of them is fiscally out of the question for the time being. So for now, I have to suffice with the funny videos and pictures posted on social media sites. I am going to share a great deal of pictures with you in this post. I will show you pictures of my grandmother and little sister who are living together.

They are both head strong but get along fairly well. This is amazing considering that my sister is a teenager which is always trouble. If you have read any of my past posts, you know that she is an awesome kid. She is smart, beautiful, talented, and even though I don't agree with all of her decisions, I love her to pieces. I will also show you pictures of my little brother. He just turned 6 months old this week. He is the farthest from me but the cutest by far. He has moved on to baby food, and I get many pictures of his beautiful smile. The pictures make me want to squish his chubby little cheeks all the time! I am also going to show you a larger part of my family that I couldn't have lived without. My aunt, cousins, and their babies are extremely important to me. My aunt has been around for my whenever I needed anything. Even now, if I had to talk about my problems with anybody, I know I could go to her. Her kids have been my best friends since I was born. We grew up together in a way that makes us as close as siblings. And while my brother is the cutest baby in the world, the two newest members of that family are absolutely adorable.

The videos of their chatter and laughs can make me smile on my worst day. I love every member of my family so very much. I also miss my mom's side of my family who I rarely see anymore. And I even find myself missing my potential in laws who have treated me like one of their own from the very beginning. I just need to find the time to make a trip and visit them soon. It isn't easy, and I wish I could go more often. I hate that I am missing all the babies growing up. I'm missing all their milestones, and all the crazy things my sister is doing too. But I take pleasure in knowing they are available to talk to whenever I need them. And as I said, the pictures make me miss them a little less. So hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do.
