weekend update

i went to a baby shower for my cousin and his wife yesterday.  things have definitely been changing in my family.  i have 5 aunts and uncles on my dad's side and they all have 2 children apiece (if you wanna see a pic, click here).  so, i've grown up being surrounded by cousins; some older and some younger.  now, all my older cousins are getting married and having kids, so there is a new generation on the rise within the pyon family.  imagine how crazy it would be if each cousin in my generation (12 total) all had 2 kids like their parents.  family gatherings would be CRAZY (24 kids running around).  at that rate, we could start our own country within a couple generations.

btw, i learned that your cousins' kids are called 'first cousin once removed' (not second cousin, like i always thought).  the 'once removed' refers to the fact that they are a generation younger than you.  people who share great grandparents (but not grandparents) are considered second cousins.  there's your interesting fact of the day.
