Entourage


I had to beg and badger, but Jennie and Ryan finally let us have their kids for a few days! Because of our temporarily blended family, Collin had a brother, a sister and three cousins to accompany him to his first "real" day of kindergarten, and another cousin, Jakey, to meet him at the school door. How's that for an entourage? It took the crew an inordinately long time to get anywhere due to custody battles over the various modes of transportation. When the scooters and bikes finally wobbled up the street, Lexie and Ruby giving Collin a starting push on his bike, it was a beautiful sight. Like birds taking flight. Collin, the newest bird, had plenty of wind beneath his wings today. He was very proud of his entourage, and rightfully so. These birds of a feather have each others' backs.

That is so great! What a way to start kindergarten! And that Ruby is going to be a great mother. Look at how many things she can hold and a baby too!

Wow that is impressive to have all those kids out the door with their hair done and looking good.

Once my father-in-law said something profound.. "Cousins are better than most people."

Thank you SO much for helping with our kids. You are always my go-to girl and I hope that I can be yours as well. Of course, I'll never do the job as well as you do.

Today was fabulous. Thank you for letting us be a part of it.

The laundry room looks great. I'm so impressed. It does look like it is right off of design star.
