It's nice when cousins can get together to play. I believe it to be especially nice when they are close in age.
I completely missed out on cousin playmates my age as a child. Both my sister who was only 13 months my senior and the female cousin who was my age died as infants. Next cousin in age was a male that I rarely saw. We still have little to say to each other, though we are both senior citizens.

I have 4 grandchildren. Two Boys and two girls. Just love them with everything in me. Mine live in Il. This christmas will be 4 or 5 yrs. since we have seen them and won't be able to make it home this year either. We miss them soooo much. Our oldest 2 will be 14 and 13 in Feb. We have missed out on soo much of their lives. I really regret moving to the south.

I have 9 grandchildren (oldest is 30 years and the youngest is 3 months), 3 great-grandchildren and another one due in May 2011. My 4 children range in age from 52 down to 28. I'm a proud quilting mimi who is always busy with a crib quilt or a special ordered quilt (Hannah Montana, Camoflage, basketball, school house, etc.) I have so much to do I'll never get it done before I die. I also have several tops pieced by my grandmother when she was in her 90's that I want to quilt to hand down to my children. I'm a slow hand quilter so I quilt every day for as long as I can.

We didn't move away from our grandchildren; our children moved away from us. Our daughter lives in Missouri with her her husband and the two children they still have at home. Their oldest daughter is a US Marine, stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA. Our son lives just up the road in Austin. However, since he and his wife recently got a divorce, I don't know when we'll get to see his two sons. The youngest lives with his mother, and the older goes to school in southeast Texas.
