cousins (6.15.10)

Cecilia and I don’t have any first cousins, so we’ve never been able to experience what a lot of our friends have. So, I guess I never really thought cousins were that big of a deal. I had my sister, and that was plenty for me. It wasn’t until the last couple of months when Brittain was able to spend so much time with her cousin Madison that I saw just how important and close cousins can be. Because Madison stayed with Roger and Connie for a couple of months, Brittain got to see her all the time when she’d go over there to visit. The sad part came when it was time for Madison to go be with her Mommy and Daddy in Denver. The day that Madison left, Dan was off work. That day Brittain asked if they could go over to Gramy and Papa’s to see baby Madison. Dan explained that she was on her way to Denver at which point Brittain asked if they could go to Denver. After he explained that it was far away, he looked in the rear view mirror as Brittain said, “I think I’m going to cry” and then let out a laugh. She then sat there staring out the window without saying a word. Dan said, “Brittain, it’s ok to be sad. You can cry if you need to.” And it was at that point she cried…hard.

We will miss baby Madison, but hope to see her again soon. These are a few pictures I got of the two of them a few days before Madison left.
