cousins

We are lucky to have Matt's brother, Nathan and his family close to us in Washington.  They have kids almost exactly the same age as ours and it's great fun to get the cousins together.  Josephine is always excited to go see Alison, or "Aki" as she has named her.  And Jase is just one month older than Ira, so I'm sure they're going to get into lots of trouble as they grow up.
