If Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, Mine is Very, Very Fond

 
 
 I have a special one-year-old in my life.
 
But there is just one problem with this...
he. is. too. far. away!
 
A 16-hour drive from St. Robert, crossing 6 states, and one time zone.
 
 
But when you have this waiting at the
end of that drive, it's well worth the hours...
 
 
 
 
 
Spending time with this dimpled-face little guy
 
 
 
may not happen often enough,
but when it does, out comes the camera.
 
 
Because,
am I a biased aunt,
or he is not one of the most. cutest. kids. you have ever seen!?!
 
With Nona's, his great-grandmother, blanket...knitted long ago in anticipation of his birth!
 
 
 
My last visit coincided with the day he turned one.
A time in his life when he was
 becoming more sure-footed in his steps,
making new discoveries,
discovering his five senses.
 
 
And our little Gator-boy sure put those senses to work...
 
...and I'm so proud of my slightly ocd sister and brother-in-law
to allow this messy session to happen...lol,
and just be warned, Peter & Jess,
more of this is in your future!
 
 
 
So, Little Man,
 
 
 
 
...close those eyes, make a wish...
 
 
 
 
...and those suitcases may just pack themselves,
and you'll find yourself heading west...
 
 
 
 
because Missouri is waiting for you!
