Hey Cuz'n's

Update: Meant to post this one too. This is the one that Conn commented about Jodi looking like me.



After our visit with everyone, I became homesick for my cousins, aunts, uncles, yiayia and Portillo's Italian Beef. I regret that my boys don't know you and you don't know them. We need to fix that. So as my first act in office after being elected President of our yet-to-be-planned and -scheduled reunion [nominated by Tula, seconded by John Chousi] I figured we need a blog.

A lot of you have been added to the author list and should have an invite in your inbox. If you don't have an invite email me and I'll add you to the list: I need email addresses for Jodi and Eric, Thanasi, and Michael Mancuso.

It's easy to post and this can be a great forum for keeping in touch, posting kids school pictures, and giving a shout out to eachother. For example:




Hey, Angela Pappas:

Bravo on your essay!

I'm so proud of you.

xoxox Auntie Cher

See how easy that was?

You can also post pictures, like this:







Tula, I don't think your hair looks THAT bad. I need Photox. (photoshop/botox)


Tesseres Elenes.







How did we make such good looking kids!?!






Please blog and keep us wayward Karounos-Kids (me, Kim, Tom, Eleni, Thanasi and our respective Xenos families) stay in the Big Fat Greek Chicago Loop. Endaxi?

Me filakia. Cheryl

Jodi: Connor saw the picture of you and I sitting next to eachother and said, "Hey Mom, that lady kinda looks like you." Duh. We were twins before Reese and Conn were, right Jo? Except you don't look 40 or need Photox.

Cheryl,
Thank you so much for the blog idea! What a great way to keep in touch. You know, sometimes I feel a little homesick for Chicago too.
Love,
