(Check out more of this cuteness in my portfolio)

Meet my ever so cute and full of personality nephew Reuben. All the way from Revelstoke he and his parents (my brother and sister-in-law) made it out for a weekend, and what better way to spend it then with a camp-out at the ol'ranch. Now I have expressed in an earlier post my love of cousins, and watching the three boys interact was entertaining and heart warming to say the least. I can just picture them in a few years getting into all sorts of trouble. I can see it now, Reuben the ring leader, followed by Vernon and a hesitant Ryder!

I like to think of how influential my aunts and uncles have been in my life. Sometimes I lose sight of what it means to be an aunt, and the important role this can be. Although this little one is not an easy drive away, it means so much to me to be able to see him grow into the funniest little guy. I hope to build a relationship with him so that one day when I walk in the door he might say with excitement "yay, Aunty Jess is here". Personally, my aunts have played a huge role in my life, and to this day I remain close with them. And as fair warning, if there is no thrid child in my future...watch out to all my nieces, I will be adopting you as a step in daughters!
