Cousins

My niece, Eva, and John are about 5 months apart and my other niece, Machara, and August are 4 days apart. Needless to say, John and Eva had a blast together, and even Gus and Machara shared some touching moments.

This is my favorite picture. Don't they look so happy?

One of them was always touching the other.




I find this picture funny because Gus laid there for about 15 minutes with his hand straight up in the air. (note that Machara has her hand on his shoulder)


Holding hands...I think they were consoling each other since both of them were fussing by this point and wanted to be held.


John is showing Grandpa his toy that Grandma bought for him on Ocracoke Island.


Eva wearing Grandpa's hat.


John was telling Eva all about the trains, or choo choos as Eva calls them.


Lending a helping hand.


After playing on the beach all day bathtime was necessary.


The girls got to go out for drinks while Hans made a fantastic dinner and Hans and John watched the kids.

Cape Hatteras

After spending a few days in New York we drove down to Hatteras, NC to stay with Hans' parents on the beach. John and Solveig rented a great house that was big enough for John, Solveig, Andrina, Eva, Machara, Hans, me and the boys. We all had a great time and decided we should schedule a vacation like this every couple of years.

This was the view from our deck. I know it's dark, but look at that water.

It was so hard getting a picture of John and Eva looking at you. These two were so intrigued by the sand.










This was Machara at the beach.


Gus on the beach.


More pictures to come...stay tuned.
