Luke is cousin-less in Puyallup. He has three cousins who live in Ohio and five who live in Spokane, but none where we live. What a treat this past week for him to spend two and a half days with his 5-year-old cousin, Sam. Uncle Cory and Sam flew from Ohio to Spokane (where Roger's mom and dad live) and so Roger and Luke headed across the mountains to spend a few days with family.
I think Luke enjoyed his cousin time. What do you think?
They had so much fun together. So much fun that one time when Rog asked Luke if he wanted to talk to me on the phone, I heard, "Um, I'm playing with Sam right now." Well, I've been praying for Luke to develop his independence!
On their last night at Grandma and Grandpa's house, Rog held the phone up outside the bedroom so I could hear Luke and Sam talking. I guess they laid on the big bed together for an hour, just making up stories and laughing. Rog called them two little old ladies, they talked so much. It made both our hearts happy to see him connect to his cousin this way.
We are already looking forward to our trip to Ohio!
Cousin time is the best!! I'm so glad Luke has that cousin love. I love the photo of them hugging...so precious. I hope you guys are having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJesse that is the sweetest thing ever. The hand holding, laughing, talking, and even his ..."i'm playing with Sam" line! He is getting toooo big!!! What fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for your blog. My wife and I found it while researching double inlet left ventricle. Our son was born June 14th and we were told on June 16th that he had this condition. We have read your stories and it has helped put us at peace knowing that others have walked this path successfully before us. We had the banding completed yesterday morning and all seems to be good. Just wanted to say thank you! Your strength and faith is a great guide post for us as we travel the journey. Thank you! Brad Johnson bwjohn79@gmail.com
