Had to HAD TO share a few pictures from a recent monumental family weekend. If you're new around here, you probably already know I have a big crazy family that is based in California (Yay Area, to be precise) but we actually spend a good amount of time together for how far away they are. Which I am very thankful for. Three cheers for more direct flights from Nashville to the Bay Area than ever, and a small amount of disposable income so I don't go broke flying back and forth all the dang time.
ANYway It's been pretty amazing getting to experience milestones (like our first family wedding) with my oldest brother, Coren, and his wife Marisol. And, of course, THE FIRST NEPHEW/GRANDKID! There's a slice of how lit our family group message has been lately.
So meet Emiliano Pedro Pappu, a little slice of my heart that is ruling the streets of Southern California. Milo is adorable and perfect and I don't know if it's been better seeing my brother as a dad (AWW) or my mom as a grandma (awww!) Her grandma name is "Mummo", which is the Finnish word for grandma, by the way, just because I'm always curious about these things.
I knew Milo and I would have a special bond since we share a birthday and guess what?? Guess who holds the bottle feeding record?! Ya girl. *claps* *applause* And you better believe I am doing soooo much "favorite aunt shit-talking" to my sisters. What a treat.
It was really just a dream to get to spend an XL weekend surrounded by family and with the days revolving around a new babe. It just feels really simple and primal, you know? I just wanted to hang out in that backyard for the entire weekend. Taking a quick break for Ballast Point, Long Beach ^^ (also my happy place- sorry that you have to see the remnants of wings but I didn't want to forget this!)
I already miss Milo SO MUCH and fortunately Marisol has a daily update going, but I'll have to be back in Southern California really soon. Which is honestly, totally fine, because LA gives me the coziest, most nostalgic, family vacation vibe.
