When I was growing up, I had tons of "Aunts & Uncles". I didnt quite understand the difference between a real aunt and a family friend. As I grew older I realize that my dad only had one sister and my moms family was all in Jamaica... Aunty Pearl was just the person who sponsored my mom in the country. Uncle Poppa was really my dads nephew... but they were so close they were more like brothers... Yes the list is very long.
Kaia's list will be much longer. Not only do I come from a huge family as the youngest of 16 kids... but my list of close friends almost doubles that number. So Kaia real uncle Sean, will be rivaled with "uncle" Leonard. Aunty Althea, will be rivaled with Aunt Autumn... Yes the list goes on. From Uncle Chris & Candi in Kansas, to Aunt Maybelline and Chris in Phoenix. Across the ocean to Aunty Stephie in Germany.. Kaia will have a hard time understanding how we can related to so many poeple. I have been blessed with so many friends on top of an amazing family.
At school in Kansas I got introduced to the concept of "kissing cousins" I had no idea what it really meant but my friend Chris introduced me to the concept. Pretty Novel actually when you consider my group of friends that have recently had children.
Two of my best friends imaginalble have just had children in the past month. Kaia has already been promised her hand in marriage to Lawson ... My future son-in-law!! I have known Jason since i was four years old. Who would think that we would have kids less than 60 days apart!! Randy just had twin daughters!! Woohoo... shotguns for both of us!! They will probably less than a week or two apart. Little Stella and Harper will have some serious play dates with Kaia. The amazing thing about Randy and I is that we have gone through so much together. Having children will only strenghten our bound as brothers from another mother!!
