"What A Wonderful Way To Begin The New Year"

With a "Little Family Gathering"

My 2 sisters and I - - with some of their children and grandchildren

My nephew, Matt and his wife Jill, invited my two sisters and I and their children and grandchildren to their lovely house Sunday afternoon for a 'little family reunion' - - affording everyone the opportunity to "catch-up - (share)" what's been going on in our lives - - and at the same time we celebrated the 2nd birthday of sweet Analyce.



It's interesting to note that the new wave of ' blogging' was very instrumental in planning this family gathering. God has a way !



It was so sweet to see the 'grandchildren' sitting around the table - very well mannered - very sweet - - as they shared in sweet Analyce's birthday.



To my sisters, Cheryl and Ginger:


It is such a blessing to observe how God continues to bless all of your children.


- Cheryl - your children, Matt & Jill; and Aimee & Tommy
and your grandchildren

- Ginger - Brandon & Julie; Jennifer & Rob; and Trent
and your grandchild



They have all grown up - and it is obvious God has his hand over their lives.

Thanks for allowing me to share in the lives of ya'lls children and grandchildren.

The short time passed very quickly - - but everyone left with a feeling of 'family' and a desire to gather again soon !



Thank you to Matt and Jill - and - Ethan, Mia, and Analyce for being such great hosts in your lovely home. - - - (P.S. - -Matt, you are a great chef !

A Special Note to:

Trent - Rob - Bobbie - Tim - Heidi & her precious baby twin girls

Please know - ya'll were missed !

We have saved a spot for ya'll in the next family gathering photo!
