BFF's

Thanks to the Blogsphere I have been able to connect with my relatives!
It has been AMAZING!
This past week, my cousin Laura, from 6 lalas, came to visit!
It was our first time to meet, and yet it flowed like we had been BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!

I can't say it was much of a vacation for her...she left her 4 boys at home...and entertained my 5 and my sister's 3!
She found ways to bond with each one individually....VERY SPECIAL!
Brooke my oldest, came home from school, the day that Laura left and said, "Mom, I couldn't help but cry on the bus, I am going to Miss Aunt Laura!

Annika, was tough, she tried and tried!
Eventually they became buds!

We couldn't pass up an opportunity to take pictures of the three of us!
It's been too many years of NOT knowing each other...
We plan to make up for lost time!

Then it was one last race to the car and we had to say "Good Bye"....can't wait to meet the rest of the family!
