Cousins

My brother was the first to point it out. My parents had five children: four girls and one boy. And now they have five grandchildren: four girls and one boy...
From left to right: Helen Mei, Rose, Lucia, Nicholas and Gemma.

Don't they look wonderful all together?

Even though we were in Minnesota for nearly six weeks, this was the one chance we had to get a picture of all the cousins together. The setting was not ideal: a very busy hallway outside the Old Country Buffet on coupon night. (There was a huge line behind me, sometimes blocking the diminishing light from the window.) But it was our last night in Minnesota and the last chance to take the photo my mother had been requesting since our arrival. All in all, it didn't turn out too bad.
