We have five children
(four boys from my husband’s first marriage and TLC—our only girl/child and The Baby).
We have seven GRANDS! We aren’t lucky enough to see five of our Grands as often as we'd like. They all live in Houston—and that’s just far
enough away (minimum of five hours from our casa), and they’re all just busy
enough with their lives and times, that once or twice a year is about the best
we all can do. More than that ends up being icing on our cake!
Three of the five kids
and three of our seven Grands were here from Friday until Sunday.
We usually are so
extremely busy—cooking, cleaning up, getting ready for the next meal, and
talking—we forget to take pictures. It’s ridiculous. This time, however, we got
a few.
Here we are on our front
porch. Minus our oldest son’s oldest child, Sophia. (She’s
a senior in high school and had a dance on Saturday night she could not miss.
We were sad, but totally got it. Totally.)
From the left: JJ (youngest son) and his wife, Lina;
Tracey’s Hubby holding Belle and with Biscuit in front of him; TLC behind me
and next to My Sweet Hubby (MSH); Jevan (13 and our second/oldest/middle grandson),
his Mom--Amanda, and James.
(We wish we’d known TLC
wasn’t easy to spot. Bless her heart…)
Here she is in full view!
With her oldest brother and their kiddos…(again, minus Sophia…)
James has an amazing
memory—for someone over 50. He told some “new” family stories—hysterical to
downright sad—together with some of the stories that are told—by him and
others—over and over. And over. (Sheesh. And Winky Wink.)
Time went by too quickly.
Our other two sons and their families will be visiting soon. Then we’ll have
our oldest two Grands graduating from high school in May. MSH and I cannot wrap our
minds about this reality. Two Grands in college. Wwhhhaaaattttt? Wow.
Here’s hoping Y’all
had a happy, safe, peaceful, fun, productive (or not!) weekend! Time’s
a’tickin’, Friends...tickin' at warp speed. (Sigh.)
ta-ta for now...
