This week I was able to witness Darby and his gorgeous cousin at their cutest. It fills my heart with joy each time I watch the two of them together.
My biggest fear when separating from Darby's dad was the thought of never being able to provide Darby with a little brother or sister. This broke my heart the most.
I know how important my sister has been in my life, and the great memories we shared as children and now as adults and best friends. I wanted that so desperately for him too.
So I was so delighted when my sister in law announced her pregnancy last year, and a new little life was born. And we became aunty and cousin of a gorgeous baby girl.
Darby's cousin has provided us with so much happiness already, I just know that they will be close.
He makes her laugh, like no one else. She just looks at him with those stunning brown eyes and she coos and giggles as a 6 month old does. When we caught up the other day she was wearing the Wonder Woman jumpsuit Darby gave her when she was born {He was delighted} and talk about adorable!
I am so lucky to have them living around the corner and big part of our lives.
Adorable shot, contagious joy! Xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know exactly what you mean about wanting to give your son a sibling.
I don't know if I want another child but I would love for Toddler C to have a younger brother or sister...I see him with other young babies and he is so sweet.
Maybe I can convince my sister to have a baby and then he too would have a beautiful cousin!
Cousins are wonderful, I had a much closer relationship with cousins than my brother when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Cousins are such wonderful little friends for our children, it is a special bond x
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sad thing to have to face. I imagine it would break my heart as well. But, it all comes out as it should in the end. Look at that beaming face. x
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Jane. Such a precious photo too.
ReplyDeleteI feel and know a little of your pain and know how lucky I am.
Much love to you. xx
Beautiful photograph! You can see the connection between the two of them, bless!
