Cousins of the Hamon Variety

Sadie, Sydney, Jack, and Blake

Everyone loves Sydney!

A week or so ago, we were thrilled to find out James' cousin, Tracie, was in town. She moved to the Dallas area with her husband and little boy just a few years ago. Her husband, David, coaches high school football and he was offered a great position they couldn't turn down. In order to celebrate her visit, we were invited over to Aunt Sallie's house for hamburgers and hang out time with all the cousins. Tracie's sister and soul mate Kristen also came to celebrate with her husband, Jared, and their children Sydney and Blake. Sadie was absolutely enamored. She adores "big kids" so hanging out with several all night was a blissful dream come true. They looked at Aunt Sallie's Koi fish in her pond, danced around in the den, then played with plastic golf clubs outside on the front lawn as all adults sporadically erupted with yells of caution to be careful for passing cars.

I think Sadie's found a new friend.

Golfing with Daddy

Increasing her odds of hitting the ball by adding more clubs!

Sadie took breaks from playing with the golf clubs only to allow Sydney to hold her. It was almost laughable how much Sadie wanted to be with and be held by her! Sadie refused to go to any one else besides Mommy and Daddy, but I think Sydney could have kidnapped Sadie without any protest. Overall, it was a wonderful night of visiting and as we hugged necks and offered our goodbyes, James and I realized how fortunate we are to have such great family. Sadie is one lucky little girl.
