The influence of cousins

Swinging with confidence.



Oh, what joy it is to see these girls play together. In order, 5 years old, 2 years old and the big nine year old. And just when the fun was getting started for Halloween night, my camera battery died and I had no spare, so the costumes, trick-or-treating and neighborhood party at my brother's house all went undocumented, at least by me.

I thought I'd better get some pictures posted since today Jasmine's aunt and uncle from Boston arrived! We'll be having some serious fun with family and I couldn't be happier for Shane, who has not had the chance to introduce J to any of his family until now since they live so far away.

Next stop, Ireland?

Well - I'd love it if Braelyn could master swings like that! Ain't it interesting how different kids abilities are as they develop? So cool to watch! Enjoy your visit - and Ireland - wouldn't that be a wonderful trip....we'll have to settle for China this year....we went from LID to LOA in 43 days! Fedexed the LOA last night and the 800 to USCIS as well - the clocks really running now!

hugs - aus and co.
