i swear i have the cutest, sweetest nieces on the planet. :)
i'm having a blast visiting little lil, to celebrate her 2nd birthday. i can't believe she is 2 already! she is such a sweet little booger...and funny. i am blessed to have her in my life. ♥

warren has got to be one of the most adorable towns in america. i think i've said that before...but every time i come here, i am struck by the "cuteness" of the place. on the way up here, we saw some beautiful autumn colors gracing the hillsides (my camera batteries were dead, but i'm hoping to get some photos on the trip home), a beautiful double rainbow (all the way!! so intense!), 6 or so deer, and 2 black bears. one was just chilling in someone's yard. i'm not sure i'd be so comfortable living in a place where you could wake up with a bear on your front porch on any day of the week...

my today was full of squeal-ly little girl laughter, toys, hugs, coloring pictures, walking in the rain, and loving spending time with my family. (well...part of it anyway) i am so very blessed to have such wonderful people in my life...feeling very thankful & content-it's a nice feeling. :)

this is what makes me smile:
solitary walks along long, empty sidewalks.
