Jenna and William Cotten of Marysville, OH have had their third child, on the same date that each of their first two children were born.

Ayden Cotten was born on October 2, 2003.  Then his brother Logan was born on October 2, 2006.  Finally, their little sister Kayla was born on Tuesday, October 2, 2007.

According to Bill Notz, a professor of statistics at Ohio State University, the odds of a family having three children born on the same date, but in different years, are about 7.5 in 1 million.

That is pretty cool!
Apparently, they enjoy another certain date during the year. ;)

Wow, that would kind of suck. As a child, I wouldn't have enjoyed sharing my birthday with 2 siblings. Kind of cool when they are all grown up maybe though.

Makes it easier to remember birthdays, but harder on the pocketbook. I can't imagine having to buy presents for three kids. Except at Christmas.

Wow, very good time management!
