When I came home from New Zealand on New Year's Eve, I hadn't seen my niece in a year. When we left, she was a 2-month-old baby; when we came home, she had grown to become a beautiful young girl.

Needless to say, this was one of the best parts about coming home. The other equally wonderful part was that she was going to have a little sister, who I would hopefully get to meet before I went to London. Seems like she wanted to meet her aunt as well, because the day before I left—she arrived.

These photos are from an afternoon that I spent with my brother and his family. Can't wait to go visit this summer, and capture the whole family of four!
