Erich's favorite brother. In exchange for decades of annoying his older brother, Erich was rewarded with a friendly rival, a role model, and a lifelong friend.

Neely & Kayla have known each other since they were 4 years old. Growing up as only children & neighbors meant that they came as a pair throughout their childhood and teenage years. Don't ask about middle school. We were all weird in middle school.

David, er, Charles and Erich met on the purple team during Erich's first year of soccer. They went on to take first place together and in future years Erich couldn't seem to beat Charles or his brother David.

Neely & Nichole were college roommates and on the dance team together. On the first day Neely & Nichole lived together they decided that instead of unpacking they would sit on opposite sides of the dorm futon & watch The Last Song in complete silence. Hey, it's the start of a great friendship.

And what would have purple team have been without David? David and Erich were college roommates and remain friends despite Erich's poor coloring skills.

Neely was 12 years old when her cousin Chiara was born. On this day Neely lost her only grandchild status. Now Chiara is driving and Neely is in denial.

Erich and Greg met at Erich's first big boy job. Nearly a decade later and they're still one-upping each other's jokes, some of which are funny.

The day Tessa was born was the day Neely met her mini-me match. Family can confirm. Their dads totally just love having double the years of the same strong personality to have debates with.
