A first, (or second) encounter

     At my Grandpa S and Grandma's house, we met up with 2 of my other cousins of the 24 on my dad's side, and they-kind of- introduced my sister and I to ice skating.  (The "kind of" is because my sister had never been, but I had gone with my dad when I was 2 or 3.  Needless to say, I don't remember it.)  I was surprised that I was really pretty good.  I did do a little bit of stumbling around, but in the end I was skating around freely at a good pace, and doing 360's with one foot in the air!  (I don't have any good videos of it, but I'm telling the truth!)  We liked it so much that my sister and I asked our mom to take us back the next day.

Fun at Grandma J's

     Grandma J was kind enough to schedule an appointment with her hair stylist for me and  my sister, and here's my new "do."  (Sorry, the photo downloaded a little distorted.)
     I also went to a roller skating place with my other 2 cousins, both around my age. We didn't skate, but they showed my siblings and I a cool arcade and some of the best obstacle course/bounce houses I have ever seen.  They also took us to a pool. Sadly, I forgot my camera for both of these activities, but they were still lots of fun!
     (I also learned that I should never smile with my mouth closed.)

Number 3 at Grandma J's

     This is my newest cousin, L.  He was born about three months ago and is a total sweetheart! (I'm holding him in the photo on the bottom.)  Grandma J is on my mom's side of the family, and for a long time I had two cousins, but now, make way for number 3!
     PS- For those of you who may be wondering, the baby's shirt in the first two pictures says, "Don't blame me, I was born AWESOME!"  He so was!
