A little bit of this, a little bit of that

There are 9 grandchildren to cherish in our family, that we see on a regular basis. Our daughter Lana is the first granddaughter (14), followed by the first grandson (14), who was born the following day. They get along real well, although they were often in a fight when they were toddlers. They even text message each other pretty often!
Then there is our daughter Eva, who is 12. She loves to play with her cousin, that turned 10 just the other day and her other cousin. He's 9 and a single kid, but great fun!
Don't forget the 8 yo! He's so cute and has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen! We have a special handshake, amongst the two of us and he'll probably be a farmer when he grows up. He's so interested in farming and cattle and John Deere.
Then there's the almost 7 yo. She's my sweet little niece and I'm going to take her to the mall this week, to shop for new earrings and some girly stuff. We love to polish each other's nails!
The youngest is 3. He's being spoiled by the other cousins and he loves it! He's a single child too, but he loves to be around the other children.

It's a great group! They get along real well and we like to go on outings together. In September, we're going to Boudewijnpark, in Bruges, with all the aunts and uncles and all of the cousins. We'll have a blast! It's great to have a big family, even if they are the inlaws!
