Cousins

Over spring break, we were able to travel to Pennsylvania and visit family. The 4 cousins had a wonderful time together for the most part, especially when we were outside. They loved this playground at a park nearby Mom Mom's house. We are excited for them to be able to grow up and get to know each other. I am thankful for Sam and Maya having wonderful family in their lives.

It was a great time, even though we had quite the scare there. Sam, who is notoriously timid on playgrounds, especially climbing elements, decided to climb up a part of the playground that we were kind of shocked he was willing to do. We watched him do it several times over, probably 20-25 times and he loved doing it. After Sam took a little break from climbing it, I went to sit down and talked with my brother Shawn and was no longer there to spot him as he climbed the next time. He made it all the way to the top of the ladder, about 5 ft, and then slipped and fell to the floor of the playground. It is quite terrifying to see your son falling sprawled out to the ground. Thankfully, everything was OK and the biggest injury was just some scraps on his face.

We have always been thankful for our two precious children, but moments like that make you all the more thankful. We love Sam and Maya so much and are thankful to God for putting them in our lives.
