New Second Cousin (Cousin Once Removed?)

Yesterday, my cousin and his wife welcomed their baby girl into the world. She's the first of a new generation in our family, and the first girl after my generation, which was four boys. Even more oddly, it continues the tradition of special dates in our family overlapping. My birthday (December 13th) is the same as a cousin on my mother's side, and my wife's younger sister. My wife's younger brother's birthday (August 2nd) is the same day as my parents' anniversary. And now, the newest addition to our family has the same birthday (September 7th) as my younger brother. Hey, at least it makes those important days easier to remember. And speaking of easy to remember, their baby girl was born one day before their anniversary.

Welcome, Quinn... to one heck of a family.
