Cousins

My brother, niece, and nephew were in town for about a week and a half and we were lucky enough to spend a couple of evenings (wish it was more) together for quick dinners and little bits of play time in between picking up or dropping off kids here or there. It was not enough time, but time none the less.

Last night, we went to my parents house for dinner. It was nice to be able to sit down and visit for a few hours while the kids played and played and played!
They left bright and early this morning and we miss them already, but it was time to go home to mama, who unfortunately had to stay behind to work and hold down the fort.
We are lucky that we get to see them in a few months, for my cousin, Carrie's, wedding!
Kyan is going to be the ring bearer and Ava, the flower girl!
Lola and Kyan can't wait to see you again, Ava and Brayden!
Miss and love you, LOTS!

PS - Growing up, my brother and I were fortunate enough to live only blocks away from our cousins. If we weren't at home, you would find us over there and vice versa. It was the best. One of the advantages of growing up in a small town. I wish that our kids lived closer (if I had my wish, my whole family and my hubs' family would live in the same neighborhood) and that I got to spend more time with my brother. I love him.
