meeting noah

as children, my cousin becca and i were really close. her and her brother would come over to my dad's house frequently on friday nights to play with me and my brother. we were all pretty close in age, and loved spending time together. as we grew up, we didn't see each other much, but when we did, it was just like old times. friendship transcends the family relationship sometimes, because like the old friends that we are, we can pick up where we left off.
becca had her first baby, noah, at the end of september. my dad and i went together to see them at the hospital, but i hadn't seen them again until december when she stopped by to meet maddox.

it was so stinkin' adorable, and it's fun to finally (!!!) have someone in my family that has a kid the same age as mine. it makes me even more excited for a third boy to join the crew this summer--my nephew mason! =)
