Cousins

My cousins Dayna and Angela came to visit this week. We had a great time, although only Angela and her daughter Dallas actually stayed with us. (Dayna and her sons stayed with my sister. Both of their husbands had to stay home because of work.) Before they left, we took some pictures of our children. Since we are cousins, what relationship do our children have to each other? First cousins once removed? Second cousins? Do you know?

Do you see my three children? One on each end and in the middle. Typical Sarah Beth did not want to participate. Poor Dallas, also in the middle, did not want to sit still! She needed to be on the go!

This picture is not as good, but it does have Sarah Beth's face in it. Poor Dallas had had enough, and Daniel was wondering what the fuss was all about. Rachel, well, she got propped in the corner and figured she would just wait until someone came to get her.

In case you were wondering, our children are second cousins. Dallas, Tyson, and Owen are my first cousins once removed. For "real" definitions of each term, check out this site.
