What would we do without cousins?

Ayden and Sophie are especially blessed with lots of great cousins. On Logan's side there are 18 and on my side there are 5. They get along with every single one of them too. For some reason Ayden and Connor (my sister's son) have always had a special bond. Ayden only gets to see him a few times a year, but he always remembers him. On our trip, Sophie and Abby got to form their own bond, and now they are little buddies as well.

We were so lucky to have this opportunity to go visit Laura in New York. They took such good care of us and we enjoyed every second of our trip. We made some great memories. So a special thanks to the Buchanan family for opening your home to us and showing us a great time on our visit! We love you guys, and we will always remember the time we came to stay with you.

Now on to the pictures. Unfortunately the battery on my camera died half way though the trip, but I think, between the 2 of us, we got some pretty good shots.

{Our first stop once we made it to the city was at the famous New York Library}

{Ayden was a little more excited about going on the subway then Connor was}

{The cleaning sisters had a great time washing each other in the bath}

{On Sunday, Alan took Ayden and Abby for a walk to the park}

I know you are probably wondering who those gorgeous babes are? Oh ya. . . that's us! It's amazing that you can do with photo booth!

I love my sister SO much and I'm so grateful I had this opportunity to spend some time with her at her house. She always makes the trip out here to see us, and it was a really fun change to get to go there and be a part of her life. She is such an amazing example to me. She has three of the sweetest, most beautiful children I've ever met. I love her and I'm so glad she's my "big" sister.
