From the giant to the peanut...




....the cousins are here...the cousins are here!!!! echoed through the house when Kiira awoke on February 15. They got in late on the 14th. Jonah (aka Pony) and Isaac (aka Bear) and Auntie Ann. After months of asking when they'd come and days of the countdown, Kiira could finally subject her 14 yr old and 12 yr old cousins to "pee pee" games, playing on her rings, silly songs and plays and endless 5 yr old chatter. You would be in awe of the patience these boys showed (although as you can see by the photo, I think they secretly got into the plays...). Evan was the official tour guide in the car, pointing at even the most remote, abstract attraction ("attraction" to a 20 month old being a relatively loose thing). Many hours of playing later, they left Sunday night on the red eye. Kiira moped around and, break MY little heart, even starting crying when she said she missed them so much. Luckily we had taken many a good video and have watched them over and OVer and OVER!!! Perhaps I'll figure out how to get the darned thing on the blog (yeah, likley story I know...). Well, we got some photos of tallest to shortest while they were here. There was a bit of discrepancy there....

Kiira can borrow Wynham anytime she wants a big guy to play with...!
