New "Nephew"

I took a little break from blogging (and everything else) this past week and went to visit family and friends.  But now that I'm back home, I thought it would be a good time to introduce my new "nephew," Amos. 

In case you can't tell, Amos is of the 4-legged family-member variety.  He's an adorable 9-week old English bulldog that my brother and sister-in-law recently adopted.  I'm hoping he stays this cute as he gets older.

And the reason I call him my "nephew" is because of my dad.  Ever since pets became part of my brothers' families years ago, he has referred to them as my nieces and nephews.  The funny thing is he refuses to say they are his grandchildren or he is their grandfather.  But I'm their aunt.  Go figure.
