2nd Cousins

This is Emilia as a (chubby) newborn with Nate's cousin's daughter, Sammy. 
Sammy was two when Emilia was born. 
We hoped they'd be friends as they grew.



And here they are, good friends, 7 years later! 
Both are homeschooled and both like to be the boss of their three siblings.  :)

Recently, Sammy spent the night at our house.  

They had a blast together!  

They colored, designed clothes, watched movies, shut themselves up in Emilia's room to escape the baby, and thoroughly enjoyed each other.

Here they are in their "house".

We are so thankful that they are good friends!
