Cousins

What a wonderful thing it is to have cousins. They're sort of like brothers and sisters, but infinitely more fun and interesting, since they usually don't feel compelled to torment each other in the same way that siblings do!
We spent the evening with my brother-in-law and his family, as well as Monika (who continues to recover slowly). Little Bear came with us and had a great time playing with his younger cousins. In this picture he is saying goodbye to Sweet Bee, who obviously loves him dearly. And the feeling is mutual!

Family is good.
