Cousins

Eloise and Michaela have 10 cousins on Rod's side of the family ranging in age from 20 all the way down to 2 weeks old. Eloise was the newest addition until 2 weeks ago when my sister-in-law, Jenn, had a baby girl named Madelyn. She and Eloise are just 7 weeks apart, which should be lots of fun as they grow up together. And there is still one more cousin on the way. Another sister-in-law, Lisa, is due in November. That will make a total of 13 grandchildren for Rod's parents.

Here are Madelyn and Eloise a few days ago. Eloise was being uncooperative and staring at something over her head. You can see that while Madelyn still has that wrinkly newborn look, Eloise is developing some serious baby pudge.
