Cousin Love

 

This past weekend we were able to spend 24 of the most glorious hours with 2 precious new babies.

This was the first meeting of the 5 cousins...and the love was overwhelming. 

Ryan Joseph

Allison Marie

I knew my kids were baby-crazy but the way they took turns holding them, oohed and awwed over the smallest things, and even became sad as we left was surprising to me. 

Marie loved holding Ryan and Allie. 

She changed a diaper, rocked, sang songs, wiped spit up, and even helped with the dog, Cali. 

 

She assured Liz that she was doing a great job as a new mommy. 

Bennett held the babies and preferred no blankets so he could get as close as possible to them.  

He told stories, sang "take me out to the ball game," and was ready to help if anyone needed it. 

Brooks even held the babies. He liked pointing to their head, nose, and eyes. 

 

He rubbed their tummies, read them books, and even shared his Papa and Grammy for a few minutes. 

Ryan and Allison are completely surrounded in love and there is no mistaking that!
