Nov 7 -  Today I am grateful for my nieces and nephew (hubby's brother's kids) - Cathy, Patti, Mike and Christine.  The kids fit in age wise with ours.  In some ways they grew up together (but in two states) - hubby and I always made sure the cousins saw each other every year despite the distance.  They still "talk" to each other, occasionally visit, etc.  It has been a joy to see each of them get married and have them at our kids' weddings.  They all have their own kids too now and it is a delight to see the 2nd generation of cousins growing up.
