Cousins

We were privileged to have Kendall's cousin, Delton, and his family here for a few days. Our kids have been together several times, but don't know each other well. However, within minutes of getting together, all five of them were running around having a blast.

Naomi and Eli are just weeks apart in age. Joshua and Evan, less than a year. And little Caleb was just the age that Eli can't get enough of. It was so fun to watch them play together. All 5 played so nicely together and acted like the long-lost cousins they are.

And I'll just say: Eli needs a sister. In church he had ahold of Naomi's ponytail. He wasn't pulling it- he was just hanging on to it and teasing her. I told him to let go. A few minutes later I saw he had it again. When I told him to let go of it, he wanted to know if he could braid it. He just learned to braid and wanted to try it out on real hair. Crazy kid. If he had a sister, maybe this hair wouldn't be such a novelty.

I didn't get many pictures, but here are several of the kids who, for reasons unknown to us, were all yelling in unison:


I like this one because you can see that even little Caleb is joining in on the noise-making.
