{ These Little Ones }

“Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughter of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that he was a parent before you were parents and that he has not relinquished his parental right or interest in these little ones.”

~Gordon B. Hinckley

The New Kid

A new baby is such an adventure for everyone involved–mom, dad, sister, Aunts, Uncles…and cousins.

Now, Lily–she wants to hold this little man all day long just to touch his soft hair and tell him over and over how cute he is. Which is good because everyone needs a little mama-type cousin. It makes things better somehow.

But Beckham–well, he’s more of a watcher. Content to be near-by and just close enough to make sure all is well.

Which is good because everyone needs a big protective, brother-type cousin.

It make everything perfect somehow. Don’t you think?
