Cousins!!!

Matt/Zac/Kayla/Odin(Papa)/Keely/Andrew(Grandma Lois)/Brendan/Julie/Luke/Cooper

Cousins with Grandma and Papa (Luke and Cooper are actually grandkids- not great grandkids, but since they're all buddies we had all the younger cousins in the same pic!) The kids all had a blast playing together, chasing Franklin, playing ball, and swimming and sprinklering it up together.



Growing up, I was always pretty close with my cousins. I fell sorta in the middle on my mom's side, and on my dad's side I was the oldest. I loved hanging out with all my cousins, and have developed close friendships with them as well. Since Peter and I were the first to have kids on both sides of our families, I'm so happy that I'm close with my cousins so they can enjoy the same type of close relationships with their 2nd cousins. Franklin (my dog nephew) is unpictured, although I'm not sure how, as Matt usually won't leave him alone for even two seconds. Anyway, Anna, Angie, Carrie (and Aunt Jet!)... thanks for living life with us! BTW, still excited for more first cousins for my kiddos, but thankful for what we do have now!
