Lesson #66
Family first
There is nothing I love more than when my brother and his family come in town to visit. The adults all get along great and the kids all love playing together. the ages all line up pretty well with Max and his cousin Jack at age 6 and the two youngest at the age of two. Zoey is right in the middle at four but she finds her place as one of the older ones.
Every time we get together, whether here or in Kansas City, we always have a blast. There are definitely some ups and downs, including physical altercations and hurt feelings. But overall, the kids really do great. It was so much fun this weekend reminiscing back to a time when we just had Max and Jack. They would fight and yell, arguing over toys, space on the couch and pretty much anything they could think of to dispute. It could be very trying at times when those boys would be together. As we sat around the pool, watching all five kids swim and play, it really sunk in how lucky we all are to have such a close family. Even with the shoving and face grabbing between Miles and Jensen, there is so much love between the cousins.
When the gang heads back to Kansas City tomorrow, it will be very sad for everyone. The house will be a little less messy, about half as loud and twice as lonely.
