When the kids were really little I would take turns swinging with one of them on my lap.  I would quietly whisper to them, "I love you, I love you, I love you so much" as we glided through the air.  Although no longer really little, occasionally the kids will still climb up and swing with me.  Every time I still whisper, "I love you, I love you, I love you so much."
Today Laura, Gavin, and the kids arrived from Florida.  We spent the morning at the farmers market and playing at a park (see picture).  The afternoon was spent treasure hunting for some, napping for others, eating ice cream before dinner, and one more park.  It was so fun to see all 8 cousins running, laughing and playing together.  It was amazing to have both of my sisters close for running after kids, laughing, and playing together.
