Marilyn.
Craig, Aimee's brother, is married to
Kimberly, and their children are Taylor and Brandon.

Ryan is Aimee's cousin. The cousin whose
name adorns nearly every wall of her house, courtesy of Emily. The cousin whose name Emily uses as an alias. The cousin whose
name appears on Emily's skin (in permanent ink) at least once a week. The cousin Emily adores and admires and wants
to be. The cousin who Emily is so crazy about, she can't help but growl at him. The cousin who patiently endured a week of
Chamernik Family Vacation (which often was waaaay too similar to the Chevy Chase classic, "National Lampoon's Family Vacation")
and lived to tell about it.
