family

The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you.  ~Kendall Hailey

So glad we were able to go down to my family reunion and stay a few days.

We had to leave our four oldest kids behind (work & paper routes - too hard to find subs), so we brought the suburban instead of the motor home.

It's just nice to have time with people you love.

As my siblings have grown up it's harder having a relationship with them.

They all live in Utah and get together regularly, but I've lived away for the past 16 years.

It's really fun to watch them start their families and become grown ups doing grown up things.

Wish we could see them all more often!


good things:
sleeping in your own bed
shorter drives
putting my puffy feet in cold water
