Focus Pocus Friday: Cousins

Spending a little time every week looking back through old photos has become a real treat for me. I hope that you can enjoy this magical trip back in time, too!

June 2006

Four years ago this June! My babies are growing too fast! Grandpa had a new bull calf (they named him "Angus") that had to be fed from a bottle in the barn, so while we were visiting (and Pops and his brothers were off in Alaska fishing for salmon) we went to visit the calf. Bud was thrilled and thought it was cool - just like his two cousins... "L1 & L2." Branch was not too sure about the critter and was very nervous and scared... until they got out the HUGE bottle and it was time to feed it like a baby. Then she wanted to help! Blossom was just a tiny tyke - just over a year old and wanted to be held and all that jazz - no up close encounters with bulls - baby or not!

But, this last photo... Grandma claims it is one of her favorites... She likes to have a picture anytime the kids are all together - in somewhat coordinating clothes. (Sorry that there won't be a coordinating clothes picture for the treekids with 2 of the cousins this weekend, Grandma! I will do my best to pin them all down and get some kind of a picture though!) This particular instance, it was the end of the day, the kids were hungry, it was late for supper and the mood was in general... chaotic! Well, we sat them on the sidewalk and the big sibs held the "babes." Let's just say it didn't go well for the 1 year olds! But, I LOVE how "L2" is so aloof as to what is going on right next to him! They were told they could eat RIGHT after we got a good picture - he must've been hungry!!

It will sure be fun to see the boys this weekend!

Anyone else interested in taking a trip down memory lane each week with me??
