I have a special place in my heart for "firsts"

Today I was thinking alot about my little niece and nephew in Az.  It is very rare that I get the opportunity to make the trek back home to see them, and today I was especially bummed.  I am not really sure why it hit me hard today.  Maybe its the birthday of little Miss Teagan that I just had to miss (due to a recent car accident) or Tyler's birthday which I am trying to make arrangements to be home for. 

Tyler

*will always be my first nephew/niece

*loves trains, cars, and well pretty much everything else a little boy likes

*is the most loving kid I have ever seen

*definately the BEST big brother I have EVER seen

*has a future as a "dog whisperer" (as long as that dog is named BOLT)

Teagan

*serious fashion sense (I am secretly jealous of her sunglass choice)

*has the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen               

*loves all typical girlie stuff (minnie mouse, princesses, dolls, and dress up)

*adores her brother the was I used to adore her mom (ya know, when we were little munchkins ourselves)

You guys are loved and HIGHLY missed :)
