Pick up Stix Wednesdays

It's starting to become a tradition that every Wednesday my sister (Aunt E) comes over to have lunch with Vivi and I.  It used to be that she would come over, we would workout and then have Pick up Stix for lunch. We got rid of the working out part in order to spend more time with Vivi.  Today was extra special because Uncle D came along too.  Vivi is starting to explore people's faces now and really got a kick out of Uncle D's face.  It makes me so happy that Vivi recognizes her Aunt and Uncle.  She starts grinning like crazy when she sees them but is much more cautious around strangers.  Aunt E was there

when Vivi was born and Uncle D hung out for most of the labor, so they have been involved in her life since the very beginning.  Actually, I was with them the day that I found out that i was pregnant, so for almost a year now they have loved and supported little Vivi.  Watching my sister and her fiance with Vivi makes me realize just how lucky I am to have them living so close to us.  Uncle D may not be officially part of the family yet, but you wouldn't know it watching him with Vivi.  I don't think that I ever doubted that he would love Vivi, but seeing it is a whole other thing and it truly makes my heart glad.  My sister
on the other hand is the picture of a dedicated and loving aunt.  She will and has dropped everything to be with Vivi and to help me out.  She drove me to many doctor appointments and was there for the entire labor and delivery.  They both helped clean our apartment as a surprise for when we got home from the hospital and also helped care for Scout during the labor I guess this post is a thank you to both of them for being so supportive and loving to my new little family.   ( Just as a side note, Vivi also has an amazing Aunt C who sadly lives far away but is coming to visit soon so more on her later).
