An Aunt Shauna - Everybody Needs One.

The Beloved's Aunt Shauna is very dear to our hearts and she paid us a special visit a few months back.

This woman. She entertained my children for HOURS. Literally. 

Aunt Shauna played at least 8 different games with my boys, one of them being Monopoly. They taught her how to play "Oh Heckity Toot". She resolved arguments and listened intently to whatever conversational pieces my little people had to offer.

She's not a night person, but she stayed up late into the evening to have great chats with The Beloved and myself. 

Shauna's arms were always open to hold my newborn infant. 

What a break that was for this mother. 

We love Aunt Shauna!

Thanks for the wonderful memories.

See? Resolving conflict, playing a game, and holding a baby all at the same time.

We took Aunt Shauna and Lou's Flat Stanley to the Art Museum. 

And ended our day at Tucanos with full bellies.
