Cousin Fun!

Within the past month we've had a couple of chances to hang-out with Wade. In mid-June Jacob and I made a trip to Charlotte to babysit Wade while Thomas and Ryan went to a wedding. The boys had lots of fun playing together, and Jacob was so much more patient with his cousin than he is with his sister. However, when I was putting him to bed that night he said, "Now --- we're not taking Wade home with us, are we?" :)

I really enjoyed having some one-on-one time with Jacob. I think age 4 is a pretty perfect age. He's old enough to be somewhat self-sufficient, but still young enough to be genuinely funny. I might have to freeze him here! :)

We made another trip to Charlotte last week just for fun! It was a bit chaotic with all three, but it was really fun for the kids to get some cousin time together! Within 24 hours we managed to fit in a trip to the pool, popsicles on the deck, a bonfire with s'mores, a smashed hand in a bathroom door, community bath, about 8 thousand trips up and down the stairs, as well as a trip downtown to a children's library and lunch.

Lydie's hair-do is proof of the heat and humidity!

We can't wait for our beach trip together! Its going to be WILD!
