Family Reunion

Great-Great Grandchildren (Brady, Everton, Tristan, Jacob, Josie)

Not pictured is Katie who lives out of state and could not be there

On Monday, we ventured over to Grandma Grace's house for a little family reunion. My cousin Chris and his family were in town from out of state. I had not seen Chris in years, as well as Grandma and everyone else. He flew home for a day or two when my Mother and Grandfather passed away, but other than that it was years before I had seen him. He has three adorable children, ages 8, 4, and 2. I had only met the oldest, but he was only 1 when I saw him. We had so much fun. Here are a few photos from our visit.


Grandma was in hog heaven and loved every minute of it.

Josie just loves her Great-Grandma Grace! Especially when she lets her swing with her.

Hey!

Dad and his Grandchildren

It was so nice to see everyone all together. It meant so much to me to see everyone. After my Grandfather and my Mom died, I thought our family would grow closer together. We each need each other more than ever. But for a variety of different reasons it seems like our family has drifted apart. Which deeply saddens me. I guess when several of those you love pass, something just is missing that makes it hard to keep it together. I just hope that everyone knows FAMILY COMES FIRST!! If you do not have your family, you have nothing. It is my hope that in the future we have more of these family gathering.
