My cousin Misty came down to visit (from Canada!) and she has 4 kids, so with my two that makes 6. That seems like a lot of kids to me, although I know it’s not THAT many. While we were out I felt like I constantly had to count heads, thus the name of this post.
I love Misty. I am sandwhiched age-wise between her and her younger sister Amanda and these girls are like the sisters I never had. We don’t keep up with each other as much as we should sometimes, but when we get together it’s like we were never apart.
So Misty, Amanda and their little brother (although he’s not so little anymore), Justin, came with the kids on Thursday and then yesterday we all went to the Dallas Aquarium.
Here are Misty’s kids:
Holden – 7
Hobbes – 6 (Today is his BIRTHDAY!)
Hollis – 3 (almost 4)
Houston – 20 months
These 2 were pretty much inseperable:
Here I am with my sisins (also known as cousins you regard as sisters):
And here are all the kiddos together:
We had a great time together and of course their visit was way too short but I am so glad we had the time to spend with each other that we did. I just hope it won’t be so long until we see each other again…
How great is it to have cousins that you are so close to, too bad they live so far away!
The last picture is great, they all look so happy to be together. Some of my best childhood memories involve my cousins (that I am still close to).
Cousins are a precious gift. I hope your kids will have the same special bond!
Aw… cousins are the best. What a bunch of sweathearts.
Love the aquarium and so do my kiddos.
Looks like you all had a great time! My sisin is flying in today for a 10 day stay.
That last pic is so cute! Glad you had a good time with your family.
Looks like such a fun time!
