3rd cousins…we think.
My cousin Mandy came to visit this past weekend with her two boys (Hutton almost 3 yrs old and Colton 10 months). We tried to figure out that we are first cousins so our boys are second cousins to us then that would make our boys third cousins to each other, right? Well, all I know is we had a great time! It was really sweet to see our boys playing so hard together and then think about us growing up and always playing together too. I have such sweet memories of growing up with Mandy (and Robyn and Stacy:). I wish we lived closer and could play all the time!
We had two pool days- the first was the baby pool on the porch. It was splash fest. Yes, it is an Ariel pool that my Mom has for my nieces but notice that it is load with Matchbox cars. Nate was totally amused by Hutton. He watched intently and chased after him the whole time!
Then we had a real pool day… Nate’s first trip to the pool!

The way I understand it is that Mandy’s kids are your first cousins once removed, and the kids are second cousins. If both kids had kids, they would be third cousins to each other, but second cousins once removed to nate. And your first cousins twice removed. Maybe?
I am still loving your blog and so glad you keep it current!
