i love my niblings

elizabethhalt.com | i love my niblings

well, another tiny baby has wiggled its way into my auntie heart. i love this little boy so much i can hardly stand it.

today, i said goodbye. to benjamin. to savannah. to my sister. then, i cried, because i missed them already. i want everyone to live right by me so i can see them often. but i had three weeks with benjamin and savannah, and it was glorious.

(apparently niblings is the term for nieces & nephews. i didn’t like it at first, but now it’s growing on me.)

      I’m glad you love it! When I first heard it, it made me think of chicken nuggets. You know .. niblings, nuggets .. Then my sister told me it’s like siblings, only with an n. Hahaha. Not sure why I didn’t make that connection.

  2. it actually sounds like something YOU would make up for one of your stories!
    i loved listening to you tell stories to savannah by the way. she wanted “more!”
    and now baby benjamin.
    how adorable is he!
    i’m so glad you’re near family now.
    oregon was breathtaking… but so very far away.
    xoxo♥

      I am so glad too. As I cried on the flight home from my first visit with Savannah, I wished that I could see her at least once each quarter. Since I moved here, I have. All of my nieces/nephews but one in fact. Another wish came true. I feel so blessed.
