My Cousin, My Friend

  Once we picked Trey up from camp we didn’t go straight home.  No, first we had to go to Papa & Ah-ee’s.  Why?  Because Hinson was there of course.

It does this Mama’s heart good to see how much Trey & Jesse love and dote on their baby cousin!  Hinson is so precious to us all & my boys can’t get enough of him.  They always want to play with, talk to, dance for, sing to, and hold Hinson.  And they get just as excited over his milestones as anyone else in the family…maybe even more so.

Both boys have told me that they want a baby brother.  Since, for now at least, that’s not happening, they get to enjoy being big cousins to Hinson.  In fact, when Hinson was born, Jesse told me that he wanted to be Hinson’s big brother that just didn’t live with him.

The week before school started, the night of our open house, Trey and Jesse got to spend the night with Aunt Lindsey, Uncle Chris, and Hinson.  Usually, we have a hard time getting the boys to leave open house.  They are so excited to see their friends again and to run around and play with them that we have to pull them away kicking and screaming.  This year though, they couldn’t wait to leave and get to Hinson’s house.  They had a ball baking and eating brownies, playing video games, watching t.v. and of course playing with Hinson.  I was surprised that Jesse actually stayed the whole night.  He’s not one to get too far from Mama at night time.  However, he did tell Aunt Lindsey that if Hinson hadn’t been there then he would NOT have spent the night.

Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.
