My nephews

It occured to me (after a bit of help ;)) that I haven't really posted all that often about my nephews. Mitchell is 9 and Brendan is 3. They live about 5 minutes drive from us and so we are lucky enough to get to see them all the time. I can remember when I was growing up, we didn't have all that many cousins around. I used to just adore the times when we would go to Summerland to visit Aunt Jess and Uncle Pete. Dono and Jason were so different from us back then and we got along so well as kids that it was THE GREATEST times when we got to hang out with them. We got to torture them a bit too.. tricking them into playing with chickens feet and other stupid Vanderhoof stuff! ( I still laugh about that Dono!).

So it's really cool that our girls get to have that kind of relationship with their cousins on a daily basis. Almost as if they are brothers and sisters. It's very neat. The four of them get along so well (most of the time) that it is cool seeing them together. Are they cute? I guess I get to live vicariously through Tracy as to what it would be like having boys and vice versa for her and girls!

That is great that they can spend so much time together. We did have that back home in Summerland, cause my bro and his wife live there with their 2 kids.

It does sound like we are so much a like. We should try and get together at some point.

Yes, you two would get along really well:)

You know, the last time we saw Mitchell, he was an only child. And Dono and I have never net Brendan. Pretty sad. Actually, we haven't seen your girls since I was pregnant with Kayla. Oh, so sad. WE reallyneed to get together, too.
