are cousins. i was reminded of this last week when zach, megan, jackson and joey came to visit. brooke & jackson have been looking forward to this visit for so long. it was hard to believe it was finally happening. it had been 6 months since the cousins had been together. i was immediately struck by how much jackson had grown. he's a whole head taller than brooke now. and they are both so much more grown up. i love to see the way their relationship changes over time; especially how their love for one another grows. they were inseparable for most of the 5 day visit. they held hands, giggled, played, slept in the same room, danced, argued occasionally and wanted to do whatever the other was doing.
on the other hand, gavin and joey were just getting to know each other. it pains me to say that, but it's true. they're too young to really play "together" at their age, but they sure were interested in one another. there was lots of love going around. gentle touches, hugs, kisses... priceless moments. joey did his fair share of loving on brooke, too :) that boy is a lover for sure!
gavin soaked up every minute of having two older boys around. he learned a lot from them - like how to have a sword fight :) i could see flashes of all the boys playing together as they get older. we sure do have a whole lot to look forward to.
