I can't believe how fast these kids grow up. Such a cliche, I know, but it's true. This was actually the first time I met my niece Julia. She has got to be one of the happiest babies that I ever met. Just like her sisters, she takes after her father both in looks and in disposition.

This was also the first time I saw Margaret, another niece, in a long time. She's almost two now. She's just like a real person, with a personality and everything. :) Okay okay, so I'm a little sheltered here in Boston. Young children aren't exactly common place, if you didn't notice.
