Cousin time








Spent the last 2 days with our Guy and our Ella.

Poor Donovan was christened with the name 'Guy' by Maddie when she couldn't pronounce Donovan. And, now it seems as though he will always be lovingly referred to as our 'Guy.' He is Maddie and Faith's dearest boy friend, and I can already see how much Abrielle just adores her big boy cousin. 

Ella is totally a character these days. It's hard for me (and even Maddie, she still tells me about how much she remembers Ella as a baby) to see her as a big girl, and yet she is definitely a big girl. She is hilarious. Faith was always in love with Ella-- the first baby she ever had any experience with, and now she is her 'Diga Diga.' 

The relationship between all 5- and soon to be 6- of them is awesome. They always have some of the most fun together.

These girls just love going to their cousins' house, and we went there on Monday and had a blast. I think that Maddie and Faith would live there if they could. And, yesterday the cousins came here for a visit. We spent the beautiful day (after the dreary 30's and 40's of last week, it was 70+ degrees both yesterday and today!) at the playground/duck pond that is walking distance from here. We took a lunch and decorated cupcakes there. They played at the playground and fed the ducks. We had an awesome time. 

We.love.our.cousins!

Your family comes up with the funniest little names. :)

Great pictures! I am jealous of your 70+. It's been rainy and cold here. The duck ponds pics are awesome.
