i'm an auntie again.... :D

i haven't posted in ages... i think it's because there are so many other ways to update people now (sms, what'sapp, and of course facebook) that it makes it harder for me to just sit down and blog away as i used to... however, becuase of this most important news, i have to blog.. photos just can't explain how i feel!

i'm an auntie again!!! this time a 姑姐.... what i love and also find crazy about the chinese language is how there are so many variations to your identity.. in english, an aunt is an aunt.. but in chinese, depending on if it's your older/younger brother/sister, your name title may change... so with marcus, i'm his 姨姨, with caden i'm his 姑姑!

on June 3, 2011, a lovely new life was brought into this world: caden!!!

caden! and his lovely big big eyes~

he is absolutely adorable, utterly beautiful and so so so so tiny and cute and innocent and did i say he was cute? we don't know whether he resembles my bro or my sis in law yet, but we DO know he's absolutely gorgeous and i'm super super proud to be his aunt... after he came home, i held him when he was just barely four days old.. and it was such a wonderful feeling...! the first time with marcus, i was a little too scared and definitely unsure of what to do.. so i only held him a short while.. but with caden, i was much better and held him for a longer time...

i think the most amazing thing about having a baby in the family is feeling all this love rushing out of you that you didn't think possible.. not only is he someone you love without even KNOWING him, you know you'll do anything for him!

Praise the Lord for bringing this beautiful child in my life :) i am super super super blessed and am reminded each time i look at my two amazing nephews... auntie loves you both!
