Little Cousins

 I am overwhelmed with cuteness while spending time with my little cousins for the first time since being back in the U.S. Over summer break my family went to Maine and on our way home we stopped by my cousin Bell’s house to visit her, her husband, and their children: 3- year-old Leah and 1-year-old Raider. “I can’t wait to meet Raider and see Leah again,” I said to my parents with enthusiasm for the trip. After spending a year with my family in New Zealand, I had not seen some of my cousins, aunts and uncles in a couple years. Playing with Leah and meeting little Raider for the first time was so much fun; they are like little puppies, just as adorable and with so much energy. “I can’t wait to see them again,” I said as soon as we started to drive away from my cousin's house, “I miss them already.”
