Kate, pictured above being tickled by her mom, is getting cuter by the second.  I captured this on Friday night at an engagement party for a dear friend of the family.  

Zack and I spend a lot of time with family, as compared to the amount of time that we spend with “friends,” but I couldn’t be happier about that.  I lucked out: I have an awesome family of my own, and my family-in-law is the perfect ying to my family’s yang.  The balance is fantastic.  In fact, I think my family probably one of the most well balanced things in my life.  (A grain of salt: OMG AM I EVER UNBALANCED RIGHT NOW.)

Brag, brag, brag. 

Also, my nieces are infinitely adorable.  I totally win.
