Cousin's Cousin's Cousin's

All the cousins: Gage, Carson, Nick, Gavin, and Henry...not sure what he's doing....

Henry "sharing" with Gavin...awwww...

Henry loooves being around large groups of people especially family. He rarely gets jealous or in need of mom's undivided attention. So it was perfect when aunt Steph brought cousin's Gage and Gavin and aunt Pam brought cousin Carson for a big family get together over the long weekend. Grandma and Grandpa Schwartz and Uncle Nick came up from Iowa so the family was complete. It was perfect! Henry got some wonderful time with great-grandma and grandpa George, aunt Stacy and auntie Lindsey while mama visited her friend Amber in Watertown.

Henry's birth has definitely helped me see the importance of family and being with family. There is such a sense of calmness when you are surrounded by the ones that know you best. They are also the ones that are there for you no matter how bad you mess up or how often. Also, I understand how important it is for Henry to be with those who love him most and can teach him about growing up with values and morals.
