wow. I apparently have 2 nephews more then I thought I did - Danny and Teddy are about 9 months old. I havent seen JD, their now almost 4 year brother, since he was about 2 I think. I just really suck at keeping in touch with Jim, my half-brother, their dad, and he really doesnt put that much more effort then i do into it, which is really sad. I grew up barely seing Jim, since he and our father do not get along and Jim's mom had custody and he was about 16 years older then me, so we really didnt have much in common while I was growing up. I found out he got married through the grapevine from our grandmother when I was 13, and since then have tried to stay in touch somewhat and see him yearly or so, but I'm lazy and not home that much, so don't end up seeing them very often. I know it's not all his fault, nor fully my fault that I didn't know - my sister visited them last week when she was home, and discovered then that they had new babies - with JD, we did get a birth anouncement at least. But still, I really would like to stay in better touch with Jim's family - I just feel stupid not knowing I have 3 nephews, especially since I'm so close comparatively with mom's side extended family. But from the pictures, they're adorable. I want to play with the babies, as well as JD - he looks so old now. Maybe over Christmas break I can go over, since its not like they live far from my homehome - they live in Baltimore too. But that depends on how long I'll be there - probly only a day or two, especially with grandparent's health problems, and all the other activities associated with Christmas and New Year's.
jim,
