Cousins, cousins everywhere, a.k.a. don't worry about the world population dipping anytime soon

Lindsay and her gang rolled into town late Thursday night and Jocelyn stuck around until Friday afternoon to see her. With all the cousins in one place, we just had to get a photo. It took a little coaxing...

(James making a break for it.)

...and a little arranging...

(Way to hold that squirmy Zoe, Clare!)

...and they weren't always thrilled with the idea...

(Frances, James and Zoe looking less than pleased; Nora and Clare doing their damnedest to look pleased.)

...but we eventually got a picture of all five cousins!

Left to right, we've got Frances Elliott (#5), Nora Ellen (#1), James Malcolm (#3), Clare Frances (#2) and Zoe Ann (#4). As far as I'm concerned, this should be the status quo for a couple years, but Lindsay may have other plans. They all did remarkably well together and even the parents survived with good spirits intact.


The cousins should be safe from similar torture all the way until June when an even bigger gathering of Haywards is planned. Poor things...
