Catching up w/the Cousins

The cousin thing really makes for a special friendship growing up.  Noah and Anna adore their cousins with whom they just spent the last week.  I hardly saw them at all because they were so busy with the big kids.  And thankfully, the big kids humored my little ones.  They are certainly a blessing for my babies to look up to.  Some snapshots from the last night they were in town when we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows and swam until dark when it was time to catch fireflies again. :)

 

 
Anna's decided Hannah is her best friend now. Noah's heart belonged to her, too.  Except when he was occupied with Aaron.  Thank goodness for another boy cousin to play hard with!

 

That blur of a splash in the middle of the pool is my Noah going underwater BY HIS OWN WILL!  His confidence grew by leaps and bounds after swimming with Aaron, Holly, and Hannah ... ESPECIALLY Hannah, bless her.  I think she should charge us a swim lesson fee because she was the fun angel that got Noah swimming underwater at last and doing all sorts of new tricks without fear.
