Big grins for family

Back in May, we headed to my cousin's home for a brunch celebration.  Maya and I posed with Great Grandma B

 And cousin Cathy, the wonderful host, jumped in the shot -

Then Maya spent the rest of the brunch chasing her enormous Burmese mountain dog around the house and Collin was outside jumping on their trampoline.   

Mid-June, I headed on a business trip to Boston and the kids spent two nights with Grammy and Brownie, since one of the days I traveled was on Monday, my normal day off work.  Maya woke up first and this was her reaction when Collin came into the room in the morning to jump on my parents' bed -  

 This girl loves her big brother, who she now calls "Col-col" or "bubba" -

The majority of the day is filled with reminders like "don't hit your sister, be gentle, don't take that toy out of her hand, I don't care if it's your Green Lantern you have to share with her, Maya don't bite Collin."  So it's great to have captured these reminders of their love and excitement over one another!
