Auntie B

Yesterday, as I was walking home from Navy Pier, stopped at a light, I looked around the city and just smiled. I just love the busyness of this city, the parks you see every few blocks, the jungle gyms, the busy moms hurrying to get to their destination, the business men and women talking on their blackberrys. I. Love. It. Here.


So, to get to my story. As I was thinking this, I remembered what it used to be like visiting my Auntie Brenda when she lived in Boston. She was (and IS!) the epitome of cool. I was in such awe of her - she had/has a million friends, knew how to get in and out of the crazy Boston traffic, would order take-away all the time when we would visit, bring us to the coolest museums, restaurants, baseball games, etc, etc. It was always the biggest treat to visit her - it was like going to Disney World, only better!


Anyway, after about 20 or so years of living in Boston, she moved back to Vermont a few years ago and I just feel so, so incredibly blessed that Acadia knows her Auntie so well and will continue to be able to see her often as she grows up. As much as we love it here in Chicago and have talked about how much fun it would be to live elsewhere, our family is our home, and we could never, ever move from them...
