Last summer, Kevin's younger sister got married; her new husband already had 3 children, so Kevin and I gained one new niece and two new nephews! I hadn't met any of them, though, until this Christmas (when we also met his sister's brand new baby--another niece!). The kids are cute as buttons, and we had a great time watching them tear through their gifts on Christmas eve. Anyway, the eldest of those kids, Dakota, is turning 10 this week, so we went shopping yesterday for her birthday gifts.
In case you can't see them very well (for some reason our camera is not catching very clear pictures lately), we got her the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone, cute little socks with the days of the week written on them, and an awesome t-shirt that says "Little Miss Sunshine." A ten-year-old girl would like those things, right? I hope so. Heck, I'd like to get those things for my birthday! Anyway, our goal is to become a bigger part of all 4 of the kids' lives, so we're hoping this is a good first step. Now we just have to find out when Elijah's and Timmy's (her brothers) birthdays are!Today's real post will come later. I have my fingers crossed that I can snag a picture of our friends Natalie and Ben's new baby, Eli! We're visiting them this afternoon, so I'll try not to forget my camera!
