Natalie is a big cousin! Meet Baby Marx….
Aunt Becky is due Dec. 3, which is just 16 days before Natalie’s birthday. So, they will be Irish cousins! (Becky and I are 3 days less than a year apart, so we are Irish twins – she came home on my 1st birthday, and we’ve gotten along beautifully ever since!*)
Natalie is overjoyed to have a cousin – she celebrated the news by packing up some “old” clothes just after Easter:
“I’m the boss of you!” is a joke in my family. For an assignment in second grade, I had to answer: “What makes you mad?” My answer was “When Becky doesn’t listen to me because I’m the boss of her.” The next year, when Becky had to complete the assignment, she answered “When Erin thinks she is the boss of me.” (*As anyone who grew up with Becky and me knows, that comment was full of sarcasm – thankfully, we get along better now!)
Congratulations, Aunt Becky, Uncle Rob and Baby Marx! Baby Marx, we cannot wait to meet you in person! In the meantime, Natalie will eagerly soak up all the solo-Auntie-Becky time she can!
Natalie is going to be such a good cousin!!! She will probably help Baby Marx write her college essays just like her mom helped her cousins.
Yay… Auntie Leah x 2!!!!
Auntie Leah, does this mean you will visit 2x as often? 🙂
