My Family...

I'm still cherishing memories of time with my parents, daughters and grand babies in Seattle earlier this fall. Here are a couple more pictures that capture some of the fun.

My Mom has never liked her picture being taken. And I mean NEVER! Well, except for the one above. Okay... the whole story is that my Mom and I have an inside joke (or code word) that makes us laugh hard every time we say it. So, I throw it in now and then to get a grin out of Mom when I get the camera out. Of course no one else really gets it, but it makes us smile every time. This time the little girls got a kick out of it too which made Mom & me laugh all the harder! It was so sweet to see them "crack up" with us! And Mom loves this picture! :o) (sorry, I'm not giving away the "secret joke"!)

Do you ever just feel like a "door mat" for your family? HA!! Isn't this the best kind? I think I enjoy laughing with my family even more than cooking and eating together.

The boys were definitely outnumbered this trip (3 to 9)! It's a good thing that they are good natured! And what can I say about my family? I am blessed beyond words. Children and grand children are a blessing from the Lord and good parents? A priceless treasure...
