My sister, Bridgette, and her daughter are going to be coming to Boston in an week and half. I haven't seen my sister in over three years and I'll be meeting for the first time my 2 year old niece, Madeline (yes, my cat is named Madeleine, but we named the cat years before my niece was born).

I'm still not fully used to the idea of being an aunt. I don't feel like an aunt. Maybe I'm not used to it simply because I have yet to meet my niece.
