Zaida is my niece, and both reminds me of myself when I was younger and surprises me all the time by being her own, totally independent and amazing person.
Linzy is an artist, a wife, a true Vermonter, very down to earth, and a pet mom to three dogs, a cat, a bunny and a bunch of chickens. She may also be crazy, but I love her.
Brooke and her brother Dan are my only first cousins. Growing up we spent a lot of time together - holidays, weeks at my grandparents house in the summer, family vacations, etc.
