Meeting New Cousins

We were recently blessed with the opportunity to meet some new members of our family.  Dad's Uncle David was married recently.  His wife has a four year old and they just recently had a baby together.  The whole family was in Tulsa for a couple of days and we were able to fit in a short visit with them between dinner and bedtime.  The kiddos are technically Dad's cousins, but we are all claiming them as new cousins.  Firsts, seconds and once-removeds are just too confusing  Elizabeth was really interested in the baby, but was not a fan of sharing toys with the four year old.  She held it together until bedtime though and tolerated it quite well for most of the visit.  Ben was a little shy, but very interested.  He had a lot of questions about his new family and looks forward to seeing them again soon. 

Mom's cousin had a second child and the kids are dying to meet him.  We are going to wait until he is a little bigger, but Mom got to see him at the hospital.  He is a doll just like his big brother!  We are so grateful to have new young family members for the kiddos to grow up with.  It gives Elizabeth her baby fix as she loves visiting babies and thinks that two new babies at church are her cousins.  We will take them for sure, but now she legitimately has some new cousins to claim.
