I met a boy who is even cuter than Ryan!

For Spring Break, I flew to St. Louis and met my new nephew, Callum. He is chubby, angelic, and positively adorable.

Here he is with his llama "sister," Creamy:

The proud Mom and Pop with their Easter snuggler:
(P.S. Logan is in a musical, hence the lumberjack beard.)

"Goodmorning, Aunt Rachel!" He woke me up each morning and snuggled with me on the air mattress. I don't look so stellar, but he sure is cute...

After his bath, we both wore our hoods...he wasn't too pleased:

I have heard this question about fifty times since I've been back: "So, did seeing your nephew make you want one?"

I'm not telling!

When people don't answer questions, I take that to mean that the answer is YES.

Hurray! He is too cute. I'm sure this was a great trip out to the McKennas. I hope you got enough snuggles in.
Sidenote: new glasses?

He is such a wide eyed boy. I hope they have some reason to come out to Utah sometime soon... I miss Sary and I can't wait to meet Callum.
