in the first part of december, my house was a wilderness of children... okay maybe just three, and maybe it's a bit of a wilderness even with my one kid! but i spent a couple of weeks babysitting my one-year-old niece, and also had a wonderful visit from my beloved cousin, who used to live close by when we had our babies within five hours of each other, but has long since moved plane-flight distance away. it was the first time our kids had been together since they were one and a half, and booooy did they keep us on our toes! one night we managed to visit my brother, too, and so had all three cousins together - (this was only two days before the newest cousin - see the post below - made her appearance!) - and so of course i took pictures!this is just a random collection i have been wanting to share, of my niece with possibly the most adorable hair ever seen on a baby, of my son playing in the season's first snow (early december) and of my nephew and my cousin's daughter, all posing together for us. if you like kids... enjoy! :)
