You really can't tell from this picture, but Lucy fell in love with her cousin Nate at first glance. She knew immediately that he was kind and smart and funny. Despite the late hour in which Nate arrived, Lucy stayed up to meet him. At it was as if Nate was born to be an older brother cuz he jumped right in and held Lucy and fed her and even had a hand in changing her.
As the weekend progressed, you could see Lucy's affection for her cousin deepen. He was always first to sit next to her in the car, attentive to how hot or cold she might be and he was the official Lucy carrier his entire visit. As an outsider looking in, I was a little jealous, I must say. Jealous at how lucky Lucy is to have such a wonderful cousin to teach her things and protect her and to simply just love her!
