Id like to introduce to you the sweet baby Maddox BEGS to visit every single moment of every single day.
This is darling Norah Marie. My Brother & his pretty wife just welcomed their first child into the family. She makes us all smile.
We FaceTimed with baby Norah's mom & dad just a few days ago. Norah napped & we chatted & laughed about all things baby. The boys pray for Norah in our morning prayers before school. This new babe makes me think much of our other cute niece & nephew. Growing up, my brother & I were incredibly close to our cousin's Dana & Craig. we swapped houses on weekends. We made forts, made up games, made fun of each other. Most of my childhood memories have them in it. I hope my children have that...which means I need to make a huge effort to shorten the miles between us. Oddly enough...this was my new years resolution. I want my children to love their cousins the way I did! I haven't made a stride towards this yet, but Norah's birth yet again reminded me that while the boys & Presley are small I need to do much of the leg work. Its a big deal. Well, I think so.
here are some of my own cousins...who I miss dearly...along with my baby brother.

awe, she's beautiful! this topic weighs heavily on my mind lots. i too want cousins for my kids...but sadly we don't live by ANY! boo!!
We feel blessed that our kids are such good travelers so we can take the huge road trips to visit cousins. Being far away is SO hard! But the effort it takes to get to see them all play together is always worth it!
Maybe the Navy will bring us closer some day. And we will make a big effort to FaceTime more often! Norah must know her cousins. She will love them & look up to them, I am sure!!! :)
