Aunt Kaykee

Rolling out the red carpet on my new blog, I wanted my first blog post to be something important, something to introduce my blog and me. I toyed around with a scintillating debate on the differences between infants and toddlers or my excitement over my forthcoming trip. As it is I decided to go in a different direction, Lucky you. I had planned on introducing some of the most important things in my life and I think I've failed a bit, but please allow me to make up for lost time by introducing you to what makes me, well me....


My niece and nephew! That may seam anticlimactic to you, but allow me to make my case before you judge. They are the perfect way to let you know more about me, myself, and I, because I love being an aunt!

First we have Emily Adelle Van Dusen, I'm sure you'll agree she's the most adorable little girl on the planet. I mean really, who couldn't love a face like tnat? She is a rambunctious little two year old, the perfect combination of my brother Justin and sister-in-law Allison. This little girl is BRILLIANT! She knew basic sign language before age 1 and was able to spell her name before she was 1 and 1/2.

Next coming in at a wopping 22 lbs, Looogan Lainhart(don't you love the alliteration). This darling little boy is epitome of a Van Dusen, yes I realize he's a Lainhart, but look at those cheeks you can't deny the Van Dusen in him. My dad is convinced he'll be the athlete in the family, possibly a future linebacker? I'm fairly certian genius runs in the family (as well a cute genes) because he is briliant as well. 9 months old and he's crawling all over the place and getting into everything I might add (much to my sister's dismay).

I've been luckier than most Aunts because I've gotten to watch them grow. Emily lived with my family when 6 months old for about a year. And I go to school 30 minutes away from where my sister lives and I get to see Logan once or twice a week. I love being an Aunt (have I said that already?), I mean you get all of the perks and none of the mess. And guess what, theres another one on her way Lila Van Dusen. Can't wait till this little bundle of joy joins the Van Dusen clan, Oct. 2010.
