More from our Farewell tour..... Visiting my family in Illinois. Thank you to everyone who came and to my Aunts and Uncle's for throwing together a family reunion. It was so awsome to see cousin's and friend's and loved ones.... I only wish it could be more often.
Dave and Liz even drove down to see all of us again ! Finally after 3 years we have a picture with Sam in it !
This was the first time my family had a chance to meet the twins. Twins run in our family I have twin cousin's , my grandfather was a twin....etc. My Grandma ( the kids call her little grandma she's only about 4'9 tall) was of course thrilled to meet them and see T & H too.
Like many of our family gathering's the "party" went on into the night, we had a fire and great conversations. I remeber as a kid loving staying up late hanging out with all my family thinking this is perfect..... it isn't any less magical as an adult. We may not see each other often but when we do it is full of laughter !
My God Mother Aunt Gale ( we have the same birthday !)
My Mom and her younger brother...Uncle Bob ( Uncle I have talked about with cancer please say prayers for him), My Mom's older sister Aunt Syl, My Mom....It was so nice to spend time with
everyone.
My cousin Jane...who has a wickedly great sense of humor...and the red hair I always wanted :) her sister ( my cousin) Sarah is a riot too I had so much fun seeing her kids .... Jane and I both have 3 boys and a girl.......I can't believe how much Sarah's daughter looks like her.
My kids LOVED having cousin's to play with. I know all of you have all kinds of families large and small....... so I hope this makes you smile and think of them no matter how quirky they maybe or near or far. It is just great to be with them.
