I know a lot of people bemoan their large family circumstances, but coming from a small family, that sort of multiplied connection sounds like heaven to me :)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-62190533528229471242015-01-28T22:14:43.146-08:002015-01-28T22:14:43.146-08:00I am thrilled to hear you have another cousin and ...I am thrilled to hear you have another cousin and a friend to boot!!
