Family time. April 7, 2008

My cousin was in town briefly last week much to my delight. She moved out to Arizona about 2 years ago after living in northern New Jersey for all of her life. She was on the east coast to be “in the office” for a few days, so I only really got to see her in the evenings, but that was good enough for me . On Thursday night we were able to get our little family together at Clinton Street Baking Company for a yummy dinner and more importantly dessert and a shared hot buttered rum.

As you can see our family resemblances are astounding! Here is the way it fits together. My mom and my cousin (her niece) are related by blood. Eden is the daughter of my Mom’s sister. My brother (Peter) and I are both adopted. I was born and adopted right here in NYC and my brother was born and adopted in India. (Long before adopting children from another country was like shopping for a fashion accessory)

So together we make up my family. I am always so happy when we all can spend time together.
