Happy Birthday, Nathan (very late)

I have a horrible habit of letting things fall off my radar, things that mean a lot to me and things that are important.  I blame it on being flighty, on having so many other things to do, on being distracted with life.  Then it hits me out of the blue one day how many things I've let drop, and then I feel just awful.

My nephew's adorable son turned ONE last month.  I still haven't met him.  I haven't seen his daddy (my nephew Mike) since I think 1994.  (Sheri, is that right?!)  I didn't send a present or a card.  I feel HORRIBLE about this.  I finally popped in the disk of pictures that my sister sent me of her trip down to see him (a trip that I honestly would have made, had I had the extra money sitting in my back pocket), and that kid is ADORABLE.  And I feel so bad for being so absent and so not in contact with his family.  I think ALL the time about sitting down to write them letters, and I never get around to it.

(and I'm seeing now why I never get anything done.  It's taken me a 1/2 hour to write this.  Jake keeps interrupting me.  AAUGH.)

These pictures are Nathan at age one, and my sister Sheri and her boys.  I'll get to see Sheri and Chris this weekend, the Cavaliers will be in M'boro and we're going to the show Friday night. 

Happy Birthday (very late) Nathan, from your flighty auntie.  I love you, even if I'm beyond horrible at showing it.

Jenny,

You are so sweet! Thanks for the great post. You did build a website for Jake that none of us has kept up, so don't be hard on yourself.

Love Ya!
Sheri
