From last night... same sentiments today!
What could be better than watching four kids (ages 10, 4, 3, 9mos) bounce all day at Monkey Joes, then swim all afternoon at the pool, then come home to put on a concert for us parents, then rally for a going-out-to-dinner at almost 9:00 at night?!?! All of which came with a baby who never napped (and never slept more than a few hours total last night). But she barely cried, and she even laughed a lot. She had to keep up with the big kids, for sure!
Those big kids had a ball, laughing and playing the day away. There is something so magical about cousins, especially when there's the aura of suspense that comes with a 9 hour drive, and sleep-overs and non-stop interaction that comes with our visits to each others' homes. And then, to top it all off, i get to have my sister- my best friend- my soul mate here to experience the joys of watching our children interact inside this bubble of love. It's a wonder and a joy that i will cherish always, and it's these memories that my children are making that they will keep close to their hearts forever.
