Family gathering!!

It has become our tradition, this is the second year, that we get together my family on a Saturday in September to reminisce and remember.  There are 16 of us now and it is no small task to get on everyone's calendars. 

Elissa, Chip and Celia arrived first and were thrilled to be reunited with Lily. (see previous post) We all got to see a calf that was just 7 hour old and had just been born on the farm behind our house.

I take advantage of the opportunity to get a family photo.  It is a rare occasion when I have them all together and I do love the yearly picture of the whole gang (although some are more interested in having their picture taken than others i.e. Jack)  I feel so blessed every time I look at these faces!!

So there you have it....This is what we looked like on September 29, 2012.  We are not a perfect family by any means but we have a good time when we get together and I love, cherish and am grateful for each and every one of us.
