On the day of her sister's 1st birthday party, Brielle was sent sent into the family's backyard during preparations for the birthday party. Eliana, who was ten, was assigned the task of watching the toddler. Unsuspecting Eliana soon learned how determined two-year olds are to test their boundaries. Brielle was enjoying an ornery game of 52-card pick-up.

One of the God-given glories of being an extra large family is that we already have grandchildren while still having young children. Here one-year-old Evelyn is getting some tender affection from her Aunt Eliana on the toddler's birthday. I remain amazed that if Eliana hadn't been adopted she never would have had nieces or nephews because she was an only child as an orphan. God is so good. she is the most attentive aunt imaginable!
