Cousins

In case you haven't figured this one out yet, family is kind of important to me.

I am grateful for all my cousins, the 33 on my mom's side and the 19 on dad's.  Plus all of Lawrence's cousins (I don't know exact numbers there).  They were my best friends growing up and we still like to get together now.

But not only am I grateful for all my cousins, I am grateful for my nieces and nephews who happen to be cousins to my kids.  I am thankful that Mike and Heidi live close enough that our kids can play and I am so thankful that they get along well.  I am thankful that Ethne and Samantha were friends and remain so today.

I am so thankful for the love and support from my built-in friends and for my sweet nieces and nephews to be the same for my kids.
