We recently had a playdate at my house with six children, age 2 1/2 (Claire, the oldest) and younger. Some of the kids are siblings (Everleigh & Briggs and Claire & Max), some of the kids are first cousins (Claire/Max and Brody as well as Everleigh/Briggs and Andrew) and some of them have baby siblings on the way (Brody and Andrew). They are all children of siblings/cousins...so does that make them second cousins? Or is it first cousins, once removed? That's always confused me. Regardless, it was fun madness!

| It was the most successful group photo we've taken yet. No tears. No flinging of bodies. No accidental pushing. It was a moment to savor. |

Second cousins since they are three generations away from the ancestors they have in common, in this case great-grandparents. First cousins all have the same grandparents, two generations back. The removed business is when relatives are unequal number of generations away from the common ancestors. It is confusing! Anway, I hope you are feeling much better by now.
