Family Matters

Alex and his cousin M. have always been pretty big buddies.

But on this latest trip to Mississippi, they got to spend more time together than they normally do. And M. is eight now, so in addition to the fact that she CAN look out for Alex, she WANTS to look out for him. Very maternal, she is.

So as I was transferring these pictures from the camera to the computer this afternoon, I noticed a common denominator that I missed when I took them.





In every single picture, she is in some way reaching for Alex. If she’s not reaching, it’s because she’s holding him.

And I think that’s about the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.
