Aunt Ernie and Reid

You don't know how sad it makes me that my sister lives so far away. (southern California) You also don't know how happy it makes me when I get to see her and spend time with my precious nephew, Reid. He is a ball of energy and happy 99% of the time. I wish I were more up for playing while they were here, but as you know from my previous post, I spent much of their time here on the sidelines just watching. Erin, thank you so much for coming and for taking over all my mommy responsibilities. You are amazing and my kids loved having their Aunt Ernie here! I love you and cannot wait to see you in June! Tell Reid that Aunt Shannon will be ready for some serious playing when I see him. We miss you a ton already!

Really...could he be any cuter?

Payton looks a little nervous in this picture. Could it be that Reid is about to take her for a ride?
