Today I was finally able to meet my nephew Mattias. Amanda’s brother, Josh and his wife, Sarah came for a visit from their home on the other side of the country. Amanda and I have been waiting a long time to see them and their son.
Growing up, aunts and uncles were an important part of my life. Being an only child, I valued my extended family. I have always wanted to have the role of an uncle. That is why I enjoyed having Mattias over.
In my humble opinion, I was the perfect uncle. By this I mean that he did not cry while he sat with me. Our children really enjoyed having him over as well.
I may not see Mattias very often but I will enjoy the visits when I get them.
While I have your attention, I would also like to point you toward my sister-in-law’s blog that showcases her art. She is quite talented.
