Bed Bugs



When the kids did manage to get together with their cousins on this last trip to LA, they were so cute. The four of them did everything together -- swimming, coloring, asking Grandma for grits. They even insisted on sleeping all together on the floor, with blankets underneath and on top. No, two of them could not sleep in one bed and two in another, because then they wouldn't all be together. Sheesh, Mom. Obviously.

I'm amazed at how well they all get along, especially because the youngest, Mopsy, is 5 and the oldest cousin is almost 12, quite a range. I keep thinking that at some point the gap will be big enough that their interests will be just too different, like when the oldest is 16 and the Mopsy's 8. So far, though, we haven't gotten there. And I'm thrilled about that. Every extra day is a bonus.
