Back at the beginning of the month, MY cousin came over to help around the house. She brought her daughter with her.

Charlotte is, quite literally, one of the most beautiful babies I’ve seen.
Her smile is amazing and her eyes sparkle like…..like……..well, they sparkle…..A LOT!

She’s older than Judah, roughly the same size, no where close to his weight, and so obviously 7 months older in actions and abilities. She is just so stinkin’ cute!

She was quite enamored with Judah and when we put him down on the floor for some tummy time, she was so adorably curious.

There were lots and lots and LOTS of kisses and taps. She was so SO gentle with Judah.

I love that our family and extended family are so close and that our kids get to grow up together. Family is AWESOME! I remember when I was younger and all us cousins would get together. We have some fabulous memories, and I’m looking forward to being able to watch this next generation make their own amazing memories.

sooooo adorable…. the pics are beautiful… and I loved having all the kids and cousins close together when you were all young… It is such a blessing. I loved the grown up times while the kids had cousin times.
Awww, I so miss having the cousins close by. Growing up with all of us together was awesome. Hopefully we’ll get to come visit soon and finally let all the extended family meet. Love you guys!
Sooo Adorable! I love the ones of Charlotte touching and kissing Judah. Have been thinking lots of you this week end and wondering how you are doing. I wonder if Jon and Geli are home to day Hope so!! Love to you all.
This is one reason I don’t think I could really consider moving – it would be such a hardship to be away from our family. For us AND our children. I can’t do it.
