On Saturday, Feb 2nd we hosted an impromptu meeting of the cuzzes. (A "Cuz" means cousin).

Chris (Aunt Corries' son) had mentioned to Corrie around the beginning of the week that he was off and able to come for a visit. I had the idea of a cookout and thought to invite my other cousins, Tom and Pat. Jeff is in Iraq. My brother is in NC.

Everyone came over and we all had a real nice time. We cooked out hamburgers and I made baked beans, coleslaw and deviled eggs. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the pictures.

This is the newest member on my side of the family, Joshua. Ain't he a cutie?

These are his parents, Chris and Teresa.
