cousins

I don't talk about these babies on here...hardly ever....
but they deserve a shout-out all the same.
I am so lucky to be an Auntie to 7 amazing, smart, funny, and GORGEOUS children
and I love them so much.
Now,
get ready for the terrible,
horrible,
no-good,
very bad part....

I have never met the two youngest members of our family....
and my baby sister has never met River.

This is the part of my military life that makes me so sad
and rips at my heart all the time. 
I only know Bentley Blayke and Caiden August through photos...
and as much as I documented the early part of Jax and Lani's lives,
I have missed out on most of Sunny's.
That just plain sucks.
Justin's brother's kids, Lilly and Wyatt, are kind of like mythical creatures for Paige and Riv,
as they have only been together a few times....

Our situation is never what I had imagined it would be, but we are dealing with it the best we can.
All I know is I love my cousins so much, and my life as a child would not have been the same without them.  I want this cousin relationship for my kids, and I can't wait for the day when we can ALL be together.

Love you kids!!!

The sweetest three-some.

Caiden Boy!

Sweet cousins
