It's amazing to see that those two up there
^^ began this ^^
I know it was far from easy (I'm realizing that even more the older I get), lots of hard days, lots of exceptional days, all mixed in with a whole lot of very average days. But they made it work and the memories I have with these people are some of my most treasured memories.
The summer of 2016 reunion was a pleasant afternoon at the park in my hometown. We had delicious food (as always), tons of cousins running around, a moment where a child was missing and this mom nearly had a meltdown (a very much not needed meltdown), family photos, and laughter. There is always laughter.
I love all these people big time.
:: those pictures are just too much!! ::
:: like I said, always laughter #favorite ::
I'm feeling extra grateful for that extra big family...and for this little family Justin and I have created.
