Cousinly Love

So something that is great about coming from a big family is all the cousins! But I'm getting ahead of myself... rewind! 
As a mom, I have been having crazy flashbacks on my own childhood as I watch my girls grow, giggle, imagine, and play.  Does this happen to you? Does it make you feel crazy?... or old? haha :)  I have loved thinking back on the times that I remember my mom or dad rocking me to sleep.  I vividly remember falling asleep on my dad's shoulder as he carried me out of church, and the times that I giggled uncontrollably snuggled up on my parents bed as they pretended to "eat" my fingers! As creepy as it is... it is really fun too! 
Many of my memories at the moment are all about cousins! I remember the relationships being so fun... like best friends but closer because there was some unexplainable connection! Now, I get to see that with my girls! It almost brings me to tears; the excitement of the potential friends and memories that they will make together! I can't wait to see it all develop! I thank the Lord for the wonderful family that I was born into, and married into, and now the wonderful nieces and nephews that not only I get to enjoy as an aunt, but my girls grow up with! This is too fun!!


 Meet Mike, Matt, and Annie! These are my wonderful nephews and niece that are just older and just younger... and then a little more younger :) They are amazing friends and personalities! My girls already love them and light up when they get to play together! I can't even imagine all the fun stories that we will tell someday about their adventures.


These are pictures of story time together at the library (they were intently listening to the story)... and then also a picture of the girls buying their NEW little cousin (pictures still to come) Emma a present at Target.  WE LOVE FAMILY!
