Cousins....

Who thought that my sister and I would have daughters 4 months apart?
No one.

Honestly, when I announced that I was pregnant, I worried that Laura might be upset.  She was about 6 or 7 months pregnant when I made the announcement that shocked the family.  (I guess everyone thought that I was waiting until next year to have a baby.)  I can't even post what the first words out of her mouth were due to censorship.  ;)  And - when we found out that it was a little girl - there was even more surprise.  (Everyone, including me, thought there was a little boy inside!)
It seems that Laura can't plan big events in her life without me trying to outdo them.  (not on purpose!!!)  When Laura got engaged, I announced several months later that I was pregnant with our first child.  Laura gets pregnant and I announce several months later that I am, too.
(I really am sorry Laura - these things just happen!!)  ;)

However - I don't think that anyone would change the situation now.  After all - these 2 little girls will get to play together, dress alike, and grow up complaining about their mommies to one another.  I love that Charlotte will have a cousin to be close in age with.  Grady has a cousin that is only 3 months older and Amelia has a cousin that is about 7 months older.  Everyone has a playmate.  :)

Well, the 2 newest Deemer additions finally met a couple weeks ago.  And no time was wasted in dressing them alike either.

Finley Jane meet Charlotte Catherine.

Charlotte Catherine meet Finley Jane.





I think my sister would agree - we are both very blessed with wonderful daughters and I can't wait to watch them grow up together.





Charlotte was only a week old.  She would not cooperate and open her eyes for the pictures.
Maybe at Thanksgiving we can have 2 girls with open eyes.  Mmmmm....  I wonder what they should wear??  :)
