Aunts

My kids have lots of aunts...some are aunts because they are actualy relatives, but some are "aunts" because they are close friends of our family and love our kids. Well I have several aunts, most of whom live up north, yes they are Yanks :) but I still love them :). But I have one aunt in particutar who is very special. She is my mothers younger sister and when I was younger about 10 I would fly on a plain all by myself to her house to visit for a week. We would have so much fun and I got to spend a lot of time playing with my cousins who were little at the time. I loved those couple of summers spending time with her and her family. They are very special memories. I love my aunt and her family and hope that my girls will one day have a special relationship with one of their aunts like I do with my aunt Jackie!
