There is really too much love in this picture to express. What a blessing cousins are! Cousins are comfort and joy and laughter. They are the flawless balance between a friend and a sibling. These 3 Bell cousins make life so happy for my kids.
Landon and Nicole have been out of dental school and living close by, for about a year and a half.
They moved to Texas this month.
It is heart breaking. I'm still in denial that they'll be there long term. I really think my emotions won't let my brain go there. I just can't think about it.
We need them at gram's on Sunday evenings. We need them in the kiddie pool in the back yard. We need them at bbqs and family nights and holidays. We really, really need them. And my heart hurts when I think of their absence. Missing their big brown eyes. Their cheerful, bouncy greetings, their cute voices and hard laughs, all the fun with just the kids in the basement.
However,
Texas is a happy place. I know that they were prepared, and led there, and it will be just right for their little family.
Thank goodness for skype and facetime and visits.

This is a very tender post Sara. I need all of the cousins together too. Cousin relationships are so unique and important. Good job being brave everyone! Life is hard sometimes when we go through change that takes away things we love so much.
This is the most wonderful picture that has ever made me so sad. How could we just leave everyone we love so much?!?!
Oh, that is heart breaking, Sara! It is so hard to have our favorite people in the entire world live so far away. It doesn't seem fair. Facetime and Skype are good and I tell myself at lease we have easier travel and connection than we used to but it's still so hard to feel like they are growing up and changing and doing so many things that we don't get to be a part of.
