Cousins are special

Our kids are so blessed with cousins... Here are a couple recent pictures of the whole crew together! Let me also just list off a few of the reasons they are each so special to my kids:
 
Jake: plays guitar with Max and models how to be a studly musician
 
Casey: plays ball with Max and models how to be a studly athlete
 
Megan: expert cuddler of Marcus, and generous giver of trinkets to Madeline (I think Maddie always manages to come away from gatherings with something of Megan's!)
 
Katelyn: close in age to Marin & Maddie, so both girls look up to her as someone "just ahead" of them in school and activities. Often we use the phrase "Katelyn is doing this now, soon you will!" - whether it be potty training, school, swimming lessons :) It is GOOD to have someone just ahead of you in life!
 
Joshua: always finding adventure, which really makes Marin light up - she loves the excitement and creativity he always brings when they play
 
Annalise: girly-girl through and through, but also a kindred spirit with her fellow three year old cousin Max - I think he would wear dresses and have tea just to be with her!
 
We love our cousins!!
