Cousins

Saturday we high-tailed it to the middle of the mitten, to finally visit the Cawleys in their new home. Okay, let's be honest, they've lived there for a while now, but it's the first time we've been there! Just goes to show how terribly UNrelaxing our weekends are.

Maycie is simply adorable. She has big blue eyes and gleaming blond hair, and a darling little smile that peeks out from behind her pacifier. When she waves, it's just one arm up straight up in the air, kinda like a politician. She was so excited to see Paige, but for some strange reason, Paige took a while to warm up to her. Maycie went in for hug after hug, but Paige just wrestled away and used her "skill" of walking to her advantage...one that I don't think she'll have all to herself for long. Maycie is 11 months old, standing up, and will likely be walking soon. She has many adorable nicknames, like Square Bear, Mayciebell, Littlebug, Pickles...

Paige did end up having a great time, and we did too! We had three cameras trying desperately to catch a shot of the girls hugging or even sitting together. These are the best I got:

I really hope the girls will start seeing more of each other than they have. Maybe it won't happen until after I'm done with school. Maybe they'll move. Or we will. Who knows what God has in store? Although I have many wonderful cousins, we would grow apart, and I never stayed really super-close with them, like some people are. Which is fine, too. We all have very busy lives and families, unique personalities, and blessings all our own. I still love to see them when I can. So here's to all the cousins...hope you're having a blessed day, wherever you are!
