Nephews and Nieces

[Today’s run: 8 miles  (Poor House Road)]

I generally leave the younger folks out of my blog.  But I have a nice picture of my nephew and me from about 6 years ago that I found recently.  He’s changed a lot since then.

I have 4 nieces and 4 nephews.  My sister’s children are all adults.  My wife’s sister’s children are in high school.  I have one nephew that I’ve never met because he passed away before we were able to meet.  I have two brothers who, as far as I know, have never had children.  Which is kind of a shame since they both would have been good fathers, in my opinion.  But that’s not my call to make.  I’m glad to have the nieces and nephews that I do.

It’s my wife’s sister’s children that we are able to see most often because we live closer to them.  For awhile when they were small they would come over and spend the night at our house periodically.  But they got bigger and it became harder to manage.  So we haven’t done that in awhile.

One reply on “Nephews and Nieces”

What a fun photo! Nieces and nephews really are wonderful. On my side there are Laura and Tom. On Mike’s side there are Jon, Brian, Aaron, Kate, Rachel, Andy, Ben, Isaac, Rebekah, Hannah, Lea, Megan, Austin. All are adults, including Austin who has Down Syndrome and is 26 years old now. We have grand-nieces & grand-nephews through Jon, Brian, Aaron, Lea, and Megan. I believe we have twelve of those, a nice mix of boys and girls from college age to infants. We don’t see any of them often. The closest ones are in Omaha, then KC and northwest Iowa. Quite a few in Michigan.
