Why are were cheering for Aunt Heather? Because she is making it possible for Paul and me to go to Italy. She is taking vacation time to come out and watch her nieces and nephew and all she's asked for in return is a souvenir bag that says, "Good girls go to Heaven; Bad girls go to Italy." (She missed her chance to get it last year when she was in Italy) Now I think that this sacrifice earns her the favorite aunt (and sister) award for the year. She also has earned this award for 2002, 2004, and 2007 because of her willingness to watch the kidlets when the grown-ups escape for a vacation. The benefits of this award aren't always tangible--you get kids who beg to sleep over at your house, ask if you can be the mom instead of their real mom, and tell their mom how funny you are. You also get a sister and brother-in-law who are indebted to you for life!
So those of you who know Heather will need to check in on her periodically and make sure she's okay and that her sanity is intact. After all, she's going from 0 to 3 kids in one fell swoop (for 9 days)!

Correction - Aunt Heather is currently living w/three 'kids'. hehehehehehehe
It's OK if they stay up as late as they want and we have chocolate cake for breakfast, right? :) Who wouldn't want to spend time with the kids...oh yeah, and you promised me that I could take naps in the afternoon...good sales pitch!
As long as they're happy and you're happy--we're happy too!
