Athena and John, whose 2010 wedding in Essex we photographed, welcomed baby Charlie into their lives in 2011–and he is just the cutest guy ever!  We had fun seeing them again back in December and getting to meet little Charlie.

And this is the funny thing…Charlie’s actually a cousin of mine: after Athena and John’s wedding I talked to my mom about the wedding and mentioned John’s last name…her head turn and she asked me to repeat it…turns out John’s mom is my mom’s cousin (their grandmothers were sisters).   So that makes John my second cousin..and Charlie my third cousin (if I have that right).  Small world indeed!  So nice to meet you cousin–you just radiate happiness!!  Here are some more photos of the little guy.
