Danni, my cousin, and I are 5 months apart in age. We recently gave birth to our children three months apart. I hope our children are able to be as close cousins as we were growing up. Danni's son Michael is the calmest baby ever...a nice change from my rambunctious two girls! He was such a great little man for us this day. Enjoy Michael!



Another cousin, Drew (Danni's brother), had has two adorable little children, Avery and Mike (also named after his late grandfather). Mike was nine days old when Ike hit. Drew, his wife Laura and the two kids ended up staying with us for a week after Ike since we had electricity and no one else did. Imagine a three bedroom house with five adults (my sister too), three dogs, a 10 day old, two 6 month olds and one 17 month old! This is probably somewhat familiar for lots of you after Ike. I actually was disappointed when their power came back on. Life was fun, although hectic, for a week. Here is this great little family!
