Cousins

While in Minnesota a few weeks ago, I reconnected with my cousin Bruce who I had not seen in probably 30 years.  Growing up my cousins were either significantly older and/or lived in a different part of the country.  I am glad my kids have a bunch of cousins that live in the area that they are able to connect with frequently.   Also looking forward to another couple of cousins being added to the clan next month.  This blog entry is a tribute to cousins.

I look pretty excited to be with my older cousins.

Putting Brett upon a wall ?  I must have been in charge.

I am going to sport that overall look to the next casual Friday @ work

Hmm - who cut Jake's hair

I am not nervous - I am sure my cousin Kelsey has everything under control.

Good times on the H2Olen roadtrip
