Meeting cousins

Eirena met two of her cousins last week. Rebekah was born in India 2 1/2 months before Eirena was born. Two years later her brother, Daniel was born. Eirena hadn't met either of them as this is their first real trip back to the States since 2005.

Being strong willed two year olds it was pretty interesting to watch the girls meet and play together. I think they had fun, especially when Eirena wasn't forced to share her Precious (trains) and they both had solid sleep!


at the park with Uncle Nathan



Eirena's favorite spot in the park
(apparently at first Rebekah, the meticulous one, was a little unsure how to play in the sand if one didn't organize it- Eirena showed her how and things went great)






walking back home
they liked to hold hands, but often one wanted to hold hands and the other didn't, and then vice versa



the next day we went to a State Park that had waterfalls and pools for picnic lunch
Eirena showed Rebekah the best way to great drenched in the shortest amount of time~ she fell in



Eirena was only mildly interested in Daniel (6 months), that left me lots of time to win some smiles from my newest nephew



the water was a hit



splashing away

It was lots of fun to see my brother and his family. Thanks for visiting y'all :) Come see us again! Eirena is now talking about sharing with Fuzzy Bear and how Fuzzy Bear can look at the trains but not touch them. I think the lessons in sharing were very good, if a little painful at the time, for her.
