cousins

Over the holidays, Carlyle and Luella spent some good time with their sweet cousins. They have five cousins in all--Werner, Flynn, Syl, Larkin, and Tobin. We had a swell time with the Brundige kiddos on Christmas. They always keep us entertained with their silliness and excitement. Some highlights of their visit were the mayhem of opening gifts, hanging out at the hotel, watching Uncle Tyler take out T.J.'s stitches (note the video (at the bottom of this post) taken by Werner himself with his assistant, Flynn), and watching them love on their new baby cousins.

Tobin (Laura and Eric's boy) also met the cousins in December. He wasn't too interested in them until right before he had to leave. Then, he couldn't get enough. I think he enjoyed seeing people that were smaller than him.

p.s. yes, for those of you who don't know...a week after I gave birth, T.J. went and cut open his thumb with a pocket knife. He got five stitches in the emergency room. He was trying to cut through a twist tie on a package of spoons...yep, a twist tie...something you'd think wouldn't require a pocket knife, and indeed you'd think correctly...unless you're my husband. But, you gotta love him.
