Jake is surrounded by 6 girl cousins on the Harmon side of the family and he loves them all! He is especially close to Riannon and Della because we had the great opportunity of living right around the corner from them for about a year and a half. Which meant we got to see them almost every day! They act like siblings a lot of the time!
On the Graves side of the family Jake has 1 girl and 3 boy cousins! They live out of the country so when they are in the U.S. we take advantage of it and spend as much time together as possible. They all just went tubbing last week and had a blast! And while they were visiting one last time before going back to Uraguay (how do you spell that?) Jake lucked out and had a snow day (even though we had no snow-some places did, but we didn't!) which meant more time for fun!
Cousins are the next best thing to brothers and sisters. Especially when they are as awesome as the ones Jake has!

"Nee" (that is what Jake calls my mom. He made it up when he was a baby and it stuck), Jake, Anika, Saku, and Sam driving to go do the funny, bungee jumping thing at the mall...I have no better way to describe it I am sorry to admit...
I know! I got bronchitis and my throat was hurting so bad I was sure it was strep, but like you I was pretty sure you can't get strep without tonsils! Ha! So much for that! I must say I'm still glad I did it, even though it was one of the most misserable surgeries I've endured yet! I hope you guys are doing well!
ReplyDeleteI have never looked at anything on "The cutest blog on the block" other than backgrounds. short attention span.I guess that is what us "Stupid Parents" do. and yes I know exactaly who you are talking about:)
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I'm glad you caved in and started a blog. It is a great way to keep up with what is going on in your lives. I thought I would not like blogging, but as it turns out I do. I love the picture of Jake i the back seat of the van. Hilarious.---janae
ReplyDeleteI hate the fact that all of my girls' cousins live at least 17 hrs away! I went to Cutest Blog on the Block and I clicked on different pages and looked at lots of ads but I never saw that one. I can't believe that is one of the ads they had!!! That's horrible.
