COUSIN CAMP --

Today was our Portrait Innovations day. They are the best and most patient photographers!!!

Our goal: No more than three crying in a picture. All faces showing. That we got. Together is hard. Break them up in boy girl groups and they naturally have fun and beautiful smiles! :)






Thanks Mom for all the wonderful pictures!

[Note: I am not sure of the exact pictures we got. I just randomly picked here. Give an idea of each personalities we had....]

Cousin Camp Day 1

Do you remember the last Cousin Camp ? Well it is that time of year again.


Bible Story:
God Prepared the World for Us. Gen. 1-2

all ready for the Bible lesson


holding the light, darkness, water, sky, land, plant, sun, moon, animals




Monkey moment. This is the time when they each ask the monkey a question regarding the bible lesson. They monkey is smart. What does 2 year old J ask? "Did God create God?" Oh only would a child of David and Leigh ask a question to that theological depth.


Traditional cousin hand print flag in the making.



face paint



hey, this was luck here... catching all three in a frame. Of course, you see Aunt Sarah's hands holding Smiley there? :)

The three youngest... M 10 months, Princess 7 months and S 5 months old. So precious! :)



triple the trouble oh I mean pleasure on the piano! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord -- that they did!


E enjoying a play time with M! Wonderful having I, J, and M with us!

COUSIN CAMP -- DAY 5

Easy, quiet day. We actually did not get together until 12pm. We took a group picture of the kids holding the flag the made.


They painted seashells.


Here are James (20 months), Garrett (16 months), and Smiley (14 months) being bad!


Early tomorrow morning Grammy and Gramps take Ian and James back home. We have enjoyed our cousin camp this week. We have experience now and know what to do differently next time. The kids did really well for a busy week. Ian and James were great for being away from Mommy and Daddy.

I want to thank Mom for a wonderful week! She did an exceptional job keeping it going and smooth. Yeah the footprints did not work out but everything else went great. She planned and paid for everything! It was a joy for me to photograph the week of memories. She is the creative and giving one. One whom I can learn a many lessons from.
