My brother and niece. I love this picture!

My niece's one year photo. I think she is saying "I love my favorite aunt THIS much!"
My nephew. Don't have one of him and my half sister together. When I left he was 4 weeks old, now he is driving.
It feels like more than a year has past (I guess for my niece and nephew, it's felt like a life time), but that is because so much has happened between then and now. I am definitely not the same person who got on that plane.
