My sweet sister Jenna just had her baby, Baby Molly. She's perfect and we love her so much. Adding one more to this cousin crew is just what we needed. I'm grateful that even though we don't have a LOT of cousins the same age, these kids are developing good relationships with their cousins.
I got to go by myself to meet Baby Molly and it was such a special night. As I held her in my arms the first time, I couldn't help the tears springing to my eyes with how wonderful she is. She's got a special spirit in the tiny body and I'm so grateful I will get to be part of her life. (Maybe not favorite Aunt status, because she will have a LOT of Aunts, but hopefully a loved and supportive role in her life.)
We loved having the Haderlie kids at our house while Jenna, Kevin, and Molly were at the hospital and afterwards. This crew of 7 (now 8!) really are the greatest little friends.
And we can't forget little Juniper! When Matt and Brooklyn came to visit this summer - we spent some time with Juniper. Lucy and Juni playing together is just the sweetest thing. They could be twins.
We also were able to go and celebrate Zachary for HIS birthday! We have some set traditions that we do with Zach and I'm grateful for that relationship and the time we get to spend with this family, too. We are looking forward to our annual Gardner Village excursion this fall. 
Thus summer we were also able to get together with
Renchers + Indiana Peadens
We love having the Renchers so close and even though their kids are older than our kids, they are always attentive and loving to them. The Renchers play with them and entertain them and our kids adore them. Even though we don't see Matt & Julie's kids very often, the boys play together really well and we are grateful for them, too.
Even though we aren't close to all of the kids cousins, we are grateful for the relationships that we do have any we try to nurture those relationships (both as adults and for the children). These kids are lucky to have such wonderful cousins because #cousinsmakethebestfriends
