Cousins

My brother brought my mum andΒ his family to our house for the day on Sunday. We don’t get to see each other very often because they live in Derbyshire and we live in Lincoln so when we get a chance to spend time together, we make the most of it πŸ™‚

James Brought His Rotavator

James came to help with the redesign of our garden. He brought his rotavator so we didn’t have to dig the lawn up with a spade. I was very grateful!
Ella had great fun covering herself in soil. It was in her hair, down her top and down her trousers! She had a bath and a shower that night trying to get her clean again and ready for school the next day πŸ™‚

Putting soil all over herself kept her amused for a very long time!
 

It was lovely to see my 4-year-old nephew, Jake, who’s a very lively, energetic young man and so adorable πŸ™‚

My nephew, Jake
 

and my beautiful niece, Megan (9 months).
She’s such a smiley little baby πŸ™‚ She makes you happy just looking at her.

I love seeing the cousins playing together and I’m looking forward to having my sister’s children coming to stay in the summer holidays.
KayCee and Ella enjoyed having their cousins visit and keep asking when they’re going to come again πŸ™‚

Having a big family is wonderful and even though I love my life here in Lincoln, I do miss living close to my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews.
I’ll be forever grateful that the girls and Aiden get to visit Derbyshire every week and are growing up with their cousins. I hope as they grow, they continue to love each other and always be there for each other.
