Cousin Elijah Here

It's been a full year-- so you can imagine how much we enjoyed today's visit from 5-year-old cousin Elijah. He's younger than my twins, so they "take care" of him with all the wisdom of 10-year-old big brothers. He's talkative, which captivates Dorito. He's forthright, which makes Meggar stifle her laugh behind her hand. Example: We told him there were strawberries for dessert and he licked his lips and said he would love to have some with a little chocolate to dip them in. He ate a TON of strawberries! We showed him the baby robins in our tree. We let him sweep the pool (but it's too cold to swim). And we consoled Captain's sister, who worries too much. What a fun day for all of us! Note: First picnic lunch in the back yard this spring!
