Just a quick post -- about the love for an Uncle! There's no doubt about it -- when Uncle Mike comes over, the girls go bezerk! They love him so much -- mainly because he is the kind of Uncle that actually plays (and plays hard) with his Nieces. They love it. Many times I cringe because he may be playing "too rough" with them -- but actually, I am so grateful that my brother has such a great relationship with my girls. They so adore him -- and he adores them. You can tell. He laughs with them, he builds forts with them, he plays legos with them, he plays soccer and jumps on the trampoline with them. They love it when he goes outside and watches them ride their bikes, and they love it when he chases them around the house - always catching them and tickling them until they can't breath anymore. We love our Fall tradition of having Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristi (whom they adore just as much!) come over for Survivor night. We have dinner together and then all watch the show together. The minute he walks in the door, they yell "Yah! Uncle Mike is here!". The grins on their faces are wider than I've ever seen -- the joy in their faces and voices tell me the huge amount of love they have for him. For a few hours, while he is here, Mom is forgotten. And that's ok.......I'm willing to give the reigns over to him.....just for a little while! :-)
