Aunt Emily

One of the many wonderful things about marrying Tom was that I inherited three awesome nieces. In fact, the day that we got engaged they started calling me "Aunt Emily" and I thought it was the best thing ever. Over the past few years I've loved spending time with them, talking to them on the phone, etc. They have such fun personalities. Seriously, look at those cuties, how could you not love them?!? Robyn, Macy and Carly
About three weeks before Tyler was born Brian and April gave me a nephew! I met him over Thanksgiving break. He's so dang cute! I think he was born smiling.
Now to make my life as an aunt even more perfect, Garrett and Christina brought me Lily. Isn't she a beautiful girl? I haven't met her yet but am already totally whooped!!
All I can say is that next to being a mom, being an aunt is the best!!

I can't tell you how excited we were when we found out that you'd be our new sis-in-law and aunt! And how excited we were to have a new nephew and cousin! Macy kept telling everyone at dinner tonight, "I heard Tyler talking on the phone. It was so cool. He was talking!" I am so excited for Myles and the girls to get to meet him. We can't wait! We love you guys! Congrats. on becoming an aunt again. How fun.

I totally agree with the next best thing from being a mom is an AUNTIE as my nieces and nephews call me. CONGRATS to Garrett and Christina!!!
