Hello, cousin Anna Grace!

As many of you may know, Russ and Amy, my brother and sister-in-law, adopted a beautiful baby girl who was born on March 26, 2008. Anna Grace is a whole month older than her cousin Samantha. Shortly after God opened the door for the adoption, Russ and Amy found out she was pregnant! Baby boy Fletcher (who they have dubbed "Junior") is due in September. I have explained to Russ that Junior will likely be subject to his fair share of tea parties, but he does not find that too funny. Between Anna Grace and Samantha, I have a feeling Junior will have to learn pretty early to hold his own! This weekend was the first meeting of the two young cousins. They mostly stared at each other, though I am sure they will become fast friends once they can do something other than lay around and drool.

"Hello, Anna Grace! I'm Samantha."

Anna Grace is already learning that Uncle Steve loves to make funny faces.

Samantha telling Anna Grace how it is. (Probably, "My Mommy and Daddy are crazy! How are yours doing so far?")
