Last weekend we kept busy with visitors from both sides of the family. Grandma Rapoza returned for a few final days with us before flying back to Hawaii, plus Cyndie (Joey’s sis) and Rich (her husband) flew up from LA to meet their newest niece, and my own sis Stacie drove up with German and the twins for a quick visit on Saturday. Finally, Melina got to see Great Uncle Sonny and Great Auntie Marie on Monday when they picked up Grandma to take her to San Jose before her flight home. Whew, what a weekend!
Speaking of aunties, cousins, and the Rapoza side of the family: For those who don’t know, Melina is Grandma Rapoza’s 13th grandchild. The two oldest grandchildren (Melina’s first cousins) are older than me, and a bunch are right around my age. Eight great-grandchildren, ages 1-19, also factor into the mix. Not sure what they are technically to Kai and Meli – second cousins? First cousins once removed? We just call them all cousins!
