My computer had a small cosmetic error, and I had to LEAVE my BABY at the mall to get fixed. Sigh.
anyway, got it back right before we headed out of town for a small easter/spring break trip to see family. Got to meet the newest cousin (born the same day of my friend Phoebe's lil gal) and spend the night, see all the siblings-in-law and cousins, whom we haven't seen since Thanksgiving. Enjoyed the sunshine this afternoon. Watched kids wrestle and jump on trampoline and dig through sand burs and run the burn pile and splash through mud puddles. Watched them crawl over the car the menfolk were working on and listen to their questions about this bolt or that spring, watch the babies crawl around and then start to walk (WHAT?! When did that boy get to walking?) See the older girls walk in (and ask Whose girl are YOU? What?! How can you be this big?) And with twenty six first cousins born in thirteen years, I'm forever going, Which one are you again? LOL!
I'm still glowing from seeing so much family, and having them cook for us (it's nice to be the guest teehee) Of course, still tired from staying up to 2am talking, then hearing lil nephew cry for a few hours while my SIL and her hubby tried to get him settled (and youngest BIL trying to help) Man, I LOVE our big family. I grew up with just me and my mom and my brother. Got my step family every other weekend, but it's nothing like growing up the oldest of eight (dh) and then most of us having kids.
Of course I have no pictures. The best times never do. Take my word for it, the sky was blue, the sun was warm, and the kids were happy. God has truly blessed us.
