my kids LOVE having their cousins, bethany and ethan, over to play. here are some pictures from the last few times they've gotten together -- a short, drop-in visit where they built a pyramid in our entryway, a sleepover where they got zero sleep, and a brunch where they got to sit at their own table. they always have a blast together! the neat thing is that i grew up with beth and ethan's mom (MY cousin) and had many a sleepovers at her house when i was young. i never thought that she and her husband would end up here in the tri-cities, but they've been here for 5 years now! bethany was only five years old when they moved here, and now she's taller than me. whoa. makes me realize that time with my kids will go by faster than i will ever want it to, so i'm cherishing every moment. i also realized that i don't have as much time to blog, so instead of getting rid of my blog i'll probably just write less and post more pictures. that should save me some time, right? we'll see! (did you see the christmas tree in the back of one of the pictures? gives you an idea how long it's been since i last blogged.)
