August 13th, 2005happy birthday to my cousins
I think I have found the other reason I have been so down… I miss my family. My little cousins turn 5 and 9 this month, and they had a joint family party today. I hated missing that. I remember when their mom chose their names. And I feel like I am missing out on so much of their growing up. 🙁
I just got a call from my sister (who’s there), and both the boys were talking to me, saying “Thank You” and “I love you,” and now I am sitting here a little teary-eyed wishing I was there. These boys are wonderful you see. They IM me all the time, the younger only managing his name and every emoticon imaginable, but the older has long conversations with me that end up with him calling my cell to emphasize his point. 🙂 Our latest chat was about girls and football camp (he, of course, is adamant that girls cannot play football). It was hysterical.
My sister sent me some pics with her cameraphone…
This is K-dog. He just turned 5 and loves Batman. Apparently, the rollerblades I got him were a big hit. 🙂
This is G-man. He turns 9 in two weeks and is smart as a whip. He loves learning and maps and can sing “La Marseillaise.” My sister tells me he is putting his new maps on the wall as I write this. (This kid is going to be president, I promise you.)
Happy Birthday guys!!
It’s really hard to be away from family at times like this – when they are all together and you can’t be there. your cousins are adorable! it sounds like they love you a lot.

Yeah it’s been rough. I just got a little video (the sister’s phone again) of Kegan attempting the rollerblades.. so funny! :”)
And aren’t they cute as hell?! They take after my side of the family in SO many ways! 😉
