OMG THE CUTENESS!

so a couple of weeks ago i visited my sister and brother-in-law who live in minnesota and have recently had a baby girl... the CUTEST LITTLE BABY IN THE WORLD! she is just so adorable and happy and fascinated by absolutely everything! even when she fusses or cries it is quieter than most other babies! wow, that is a lot of exclamation points... i also visited so i could give the little one the blanket i had been working on for months (mostly because i am in college and there were big blocks of time when i couldn't work on it) which, according to my sister, she seems to really like... according to my sister it is a "magic blanket" which keeps the little person asleep longer... but she is just so cute and absolutely loves to smile! and double plus bonus, they asked me to be her godmother! yay! apparently i said yes so fast they thought i had heard them over the baby monitor... it was such a great trip! though i am sure they were unhappy when it snowed like 8 inches...

amusement...

i am kind of amused that since my sister had her baby, while she obviously has not had time to post, everyone else except matter eater lad has just stopped dead posting... all the people in our fam that is... just thought that was odd...

on a related note, my niece is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! i keep going on my sister's flickr account and checking for pistures, which are of course not appearing fast enough, but since that couldn't possibly happen, i have no one to blame but myself and my own damn impatience...

new tiny person!

i am happy to announce that i am officially an aunt to a beautiful baby girl- my sister had her baby today! yay!
