Cousins

Ethan and Emmaline are only about 6 months apart. Ethan is the older of the two, but neither one remembers life without the other. Emma LOVES her cousin. On Sundays if possible, we all try to gather at Grandma and Grandpa's house for some family time. This Sunday the weather was beautiful. Grandpa built a swing for the kids, and both of them have enjoyed it. They usually swing one at a time, but this time they decided to try it together. I would have to say it worked rather well and they certainly had a blast!

Sydney is still too small for the swing, so Grandma volunteered to keep a hold of her :-)
This picture has nothing to do with the swing or cousins, but I thought it was too funny. Who on earth thought she needed to wear a helmet to ride the big wheel????
And let's not forget that she refers to this particular bicycle helmet as her "walnut hat". Her Uncle Micheal bought the kids some helmets a couple of years ago so they could be outside and help Grandpa pick up walnuts and not have to worry about getting hit in the head by falling walnuts. Having had one of those things land on my head....I can tell you it hurts!
