Cousins

First cousins can be interesting relatives; they share a common set of grandparents and, because their parents are siblings, they can share some physical and personality characteristics.

This summer Blaine(6) and Drake (4) met their first cousin Jensen(7 months) in Seattle, when Erin visited Marshall and Theresa.

Nothing like a shared bath for male bonding of cousins



While in Seattle I was able to spend time with my first cousin, Rod. Over the years we've shared a few adventures. I hope Jensen, Blaine and Drake can be as good of friends as Rod and I have been all these years.
