Family Tree Kinda

Oi Kids!

I thought I should mention family (blood relatives) I'm going to give you a breakdown: You'll have one uncle, numerous Aunts', 3 first Cousins, 1 second Cousin and 2third Cousins (I think that's how it goes). Your two Uncle is my brother Drew; then there's Aunt Sandra, my sister-friend and the mother of Tommi-Jon and Dillon;(There's a lot more but for the sake of this post I'll keep it short). Your 3 first Cousins are Julian, Christian and Austin, sons of Uncle Drew and Susan. All of them are loving and caring amazing people. You'll both learn a lot from your cousins and they'll watch over you and protect you just as I will. Your second Cousin in my Cousin Andrew and your third Cousins are his sons Thomas and Steven.

You'll have 4 Great Aunts and 1 Great Uncle, my Aunt Fran who is also my Godmother and married to my Uncle Tony and my Aunt Maryann (these two were your grandma Rosie's best friends and for that reason and other reasons I will dedicate a whole post to them). There will also be Great Aunt Josephine Albanese, your grandfather's sister and her family your second Cousin John and his brothers and Great Aunt Josie Safina who was married to your grandfather's brother who was Great Aunt Josephine's twin.

You'll also have cousins in Italy and we'll visit them as soon as we can. There names are Cosimo Di Carlo Cuttone on your Great Grandmother's Catarina Tilotta's side who was Catarina Di Carlo Cuttone and an Aunt of Cosimo's before she married her husband Rosario Tilotta who was the uncle of Santino Pedone.

OK BASTA (Basta in Italian means 'enough!')

I'm hoping one of your cousins or uncles will read this and follow me through on the family tree and correct anything that might need correcting or add anything or anyone that I might have forgotten.
