cousin love

i was chatting with my sister, nue, at a sunday night family gathering when she stopped me all of a sudden and said, "harm - look!"

i turned my head only to see our little boy mashed up against his cousin, azure. he'll probably be quite embarrassed to see this when he grows up - but i love that i was able to capture the playful childhood innocence in this shot. i think he was just so excited to have someone other than older people to run around and frolick (that's right, i said it) with. he wouldn't let her go, and if he did - he would just run back and give her a huge hug again. such a precious moment!
