Cousins, Ketchup, and Smiles

Monday nights this summer are dedicated to extended family. Everyone is invited. Whoever can and wants to come brings some food and we BBQ on the back porch. The kids squeal and get filthy, we play badminton, and just talk and enjoy the long shadows of a summer evening.

Jeff and Ember (my brother and sister-in-love) were able to come share the evening tonight. Their 4 girls are a hoot to watch and giggle with. Their faces tell the story of our evening together (including what we ate!).

Kaydyn and Isabelle are 2 years apart in age but you wouldn't know it watching them play. We have a picture of them several years ago sitting in this same washtub! They barely fit now.
