cousins, cousins, and more cousins...

yes, it is hard to believe, but i have even MORE cousins (my maternal grandmother was one of six)!! today cousin kari (my generation) and her kids, mitchel and kathlyen, were visiting from kentucky. kari just finished her phd in environmental science and is now working for the army corp of engineers...

and somehow she STILL managed to find the time to have two beautiful children! mitchel is three and kathlyen is four months...

...it's hard to believe kari can fit those skinny arms around that big bellied woman*!!

and here is uncle charlie with the crew (and might i add, by the look on his face you would never know he is a confirmed bachelor!)

vivian found baby kathlyen very amusing...and wanted to show her love.

however, THIS is the best picture of the day!! mitchel has his little arm around her like "come on vivian i know where we can REALLY get into trouble!!" thanks for a great lunch guys, it was wonderful to see all of you!
*i forgot to mention that at the ob appointment on monday she estimated the baby's weight to be, "a solid nine pounds"....sheesh...i guess i should be thankful for a c-section!

I'd like to chime in by saying this is an exceedingly beautiful gene pool represented here! Cute kids must run in the family, ya think? ;)

What cute kids! I always enjoy looking at the cute kiddos on the blog!

It was nice to meet you yesterday at Megan's Shower yesterday! Best of luck with Bauer's delivery on Thursday. By the way, my sister is not working that day. :( I thought she was. DANG IT! You would have had a great nurse (not that I'm biased or anything, he, he!)

Scatch that, my sister IS working Thursday!! :) She said to ask for her as your nurse! Her name is Katie Hill, and (not that I'm biased or anything), but she's one of the best! :)
