Why my nephew is a magician.

This kid,

 

he is a magician.

You see

17 years ago

today

this kid, this itty bitty tiny baby,

the very first time that I ever, in my whole life, was an aunt, holding my 9-hour old nephew

turned me into an aunt!

And now

I can never

 

ever

 

not be an aunt again.

Millikin University, Fall Family Weekend, 1999

And that makes me happy.

Happy Birthday Nate!
