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.
i will never understand the blahblahblah once removed business. never. i wish i had a big family. i'm jealous that your family is so big!
