Being an Uncle Is Really Tough

Since Jamie and I are not parents yet, we get to spend all of our time doting on our two nieces.  So last week we got a picture sent to us from Ellie that was soooooo sweet.  It instantly became my new favorite.  Obviously our other niece Lydia must have been feeling the pressure, because she stepped up her game and sent us a great picture also.  So I'll let you all decide who you think is the sweetest...

Rumor has it it supposed to get up to 42 today. I know, its like heaven on earth hearing news like that.
