Cousin Love

Daughter A. and Daughter L. are somewhat younger than any of their cousins on Husband's side. And the cousins on my side are more M. and W's age, although the big girls have a lot of fun with them, too. But God provided excellent cousin-ness of the correct age for A. and L. through Husband's first cousin's kids. Cousin Keith's three kids live a couple of miles away and have been beloved companions for tree fort making, snowplay, horseback riding, easter egg dyeing, bike riding, giggling, bible school attending, choring, Halloweening, eating, poking, teasing, and just generally cousining together. The extreme beauty of the plan is that these favorite cousins have no first cousins at all of their own. Works great on both sides. How rich we are.
