Cousin Love

Yesterday, we went to my parents house. Tyler got to meet his cousin, Lexie. She was very excited to be seeing him. She met us at the door. The big test was going to be when Nana held Ty, but she did well. Instead of being jealous, she just wanted to help with him. Leo, my dad, and Pap went to the sugar shack to make maple syrup. Lex, Mom, Ty, and I stayed at the house. The funny part of the day was when Tyler and Lexie were lying on a blanket together. Mom and I were working on dinner. I looked into the living room to check on the kids and saw my son covered with the Sunday K-mart flyer. It was on him like a little tent. I asked Lexie why he was wearing the flyer. Her response was she thought he was cold and couldn't find a blanket. The flyer was there and she thought that would keep him warm. I had an extra blanket although he was far from cold. She fed him. The problem ended up being that she was trying to be too helpful. She was constantly poking him and in his face. This led to very little sleep, but I would rather have this problem than her being jealous of him. Tara came up with Kameron and Kenzie. Lex grabbed Kam so that she could introduce him to her baby cousin. She made my dad take pictures, so he could print them out on his printer for her to take home with her. Overall, it was a nice trip home. I am also hoping Leo will post about his trip to the shack. We got to take a quart of the syrup they made, and he learned a lot about the process.

It's nice that Tyler has so many cousins and other family members to fuss over him. I bet it was funny to see him covered with the K-Mart flyer. Lex is a protective big cousin. I hope Leo will post about the sugaring. I hope he took some pictures.

The K-mart flyer was hyterical. That is what she took from the Macy's Thanksgiving parade she went to this past year. Apparently, she must have seen some homeless person using a newspaper. Leo did take pictures. I will tell him he has to post them and about what he learned. He says the syrup we got tastes good. He got to taste test it. He had a good time there. It i quite the operation for what you get out it. You definitely have to be an enthusiast.
