Cousins

Miles and I spent last week in Utah with my brother and sister-in-law, Xiaojun, and their three kids, Noel, Brickman, and Lincoln. I am so mad at myself for not taking a picture of 2 month old Lincoln. He is so tiny and easy-going with great big dark eyes. He's wearing some of Miles's old infant clothes which makes me very sentimental and even more needy for a baby. At 3 years old, Noel couldn't get enough of Miles and wanted to hold his hand or hug him all the time. It took about two days for them to reach an agreement about how much she could cling to him and then they were friends. Poor little Brickman was getting over a sickness, so Miles and he waited until the last few hours of our visit to start playing with one another. They'll be good buddies next time.

I have to thank Xiaojun for her friendship and for being such a great sister. I find it hard to open up sometimes about how I'm feeling especially about searching for another addition to our family, but she's always there for me and so supportive. She knows just what to ask and what to say. Thanks for a great week! Her kids are amazing and cute and never sit still. She's such a great, patient, loving mother.

See Noel in the very back? So sweet! Love it!
