I love surprises, really.
In some ways, when we found out we were pregnant with Maelie, we were surprised. And so were a lot of other people.
But the surprises weren’t over.
Just two weeks l ater, we found out th
at my brother and his wife were expecting a baby and actually due three months before me.
(They waited to tell people a lot longer!)
I had worried for our kids with my side of the family.
My brother (my only sibling) already had six kids, but the youngest was ten, and so we knew that most likely our kids would never have cousins close to their age.
So it was a very happy surprise to find out that she would have someone.
And? They were both girls!!!
Sofia was born in March, and Maelie arrived in June.
While we don’t get back to Iowa too often, when we do, they enjoy playing together.
Though it took Sofia awhile to warm up to Maelie, you can see from the pic below that there was plenty of cousin b onding going
on.
They loved each other.
Thank you, God, for surprises.
