Cousins

Our girls had such a blast with all the cousins. Nora was a little rascal, she was loving on Niall Ryan while they were at our house, she just wanted to pick him up and hold him all the time. That all changed once we got to the beach. Then, she just wanted to smack him on the head all the time. Towards the end, she started trying to pretend she was going to be soft with him, and then at the last minute would raise her little arm up to  whack him. 

                             


Teresa and Colin used to be such cute little buddies when we were all living at my parents house. It was fun to see them together again.






Teresa fits in kind of an awkward spot right now - she's not quite old enough for the big girls all the time, and she's a little too old for Nora and the two-year-olds, but they still all had a lot of fun together. 



Meal time got a little crazy with 16 kids to feed.


These two are so cute! They're only a few days a part in age, and are the cutest little best friends.


Grandad did a good job entertaining the kiddos during the rare breaks from swimming.


They're all so cute squished on the couch together :).


Seriously one of my favorite pictures from the whole week. 


Teresa has been having major cousin with-drawls since we got home. She asks everyday if she can have her cousins come over, and when I tell her she can't she sighs and says "well, then can all my friends come over?". I guess our little family just isn't exciting enough for her anymore :).

Those are great photos too! They had lots of fun with the felt play scene ... in pic #3, I guess Nora must not be putting it together quite right ... check out the looks on Colin's and Teresa's faces :) Thanks for the memories... Love, Mom (Dad too) xox

That was soooo much fun!! yes, the last pic is pretty dang awesome. I was like, "wait a sec..." Then I remembered y'all got the pics from everyone's cameras. Brilliant. Man, Colin and T sure have grown haven't they? I'm glad they can still hang out together. The bond they forged is strong... ;) I also like the pic of Tressa and Brigit and Nuala. And poor Niall! Nora was totally a little rascal, haha!! Probably to keep you and Marc from getting any ideas... she must want to stay the baby for a little longer... ;)
