Time With Cousins...

B & B,

Fellas, you two are some pretty lucky guys. Seriously. You have some great family around you. In particular, you have two little cousins that couldn't wait for your arrival. Kennedy and Shane would ask Meagan every day when you guys would be coming. Shane liked to tell Mommy that it was alright that her belly was big "because his cousins were in there". Or, he would just tell mommy that he liked her big belly as he rubbed it.

When we called Aunt Riss and Kennedy to let them know if you guys were girls or boys...Kennedy had her fingers crossed for a girl cousin. When we told her you were boys, she was crushed at first. But, after realizing she was the only princess in the family, she came around. In no time, she was making books for you guys and writing you letters.

She made a special book for you guys that brought tears to our eyes. It is pretty special.

Once you guys arrived, both of them couldn't wait to hold you and love on you. They want to come see you guys every day.

It is awesome to watch them interact with you guys. You guys will have a lot of fun growing up with your older cousins.

Kennedy sang to Braxton and Shane held a conversion with Boston. It was awesome.

When we arrived home from the hospital, Shane insisted on coming over to read you guys a story. Shane really likes The Avengers. He likes them so much that he even had an Avengers party. Shane is learning to read, so he wanted to read you a story about the Avengers. Shane read you your first story after you were born.

During the story, Braxton started to fuss. Shane turned to his mom and said, "Maybe the Avengers are too scary for him". But, you guys pulled through and Shane read you the entire story of the Avengers.

Shane and Kennedy sure do love you a lot. You guys are lucky to have cousins like them.

And, they are not the only little ones interested in you guys. Your cousin, Raiden, lives in Utah with Aunt Ashlee and Uncle Ty. He is about 10 months older than you guys, so you guys will have a lot of fun when we see him.

You also have your cousin Morgan. She lives in Colorado with Aunt Sue and Uncle Chris. She is also VERY excited that you guys were coming. She sent you guys a picture that is on the fridge to let us know she was thinking of you.

She even put a bumblebee on it like the one in your nursery.

Morgan was also the first one to send you guys a package. This is the first piece of mail that you received. It had Morgie's bumblebee picture as well as some pretty awesome kicks for you guys to sport.

Needless to say, you guys have some great cousins to spend time with.

I love you guys.

Love,

Dad
