Kissing Cousins.

I absolutely love having a big extended family. With my mom being the oldest of 8 children, I was lucky enough to grow up with 25 first cousins. Our summers and holidays were always spent with a million of us running around, playing and doing things that cousins do. I was born in the middle, so I have about the same amount of olders cousins as younger cousins. This was always an interesting position to be in because I always had cousins to look up to and cousins to be role models to.

One of my absolute favorite pictures taken was the one below. This was taken in the summer of 1983, when I was 4 years old. I'm the one in the green in the lower left.
