This weekend was full of celebrations!\u00a0 We spent most of Saturday sharing happy times and meals with family members who were passing all sorts of milestones in their lives.<\/p>\n
We celebrated grade school, high school and college graduations, an anniversary, and scads and scads of birthdays\u00a0 We\u00a0participated in a bridal shower.\u00a0 I met the newest baby in the family and his mother, and I spent some time this weekend working on a baby quilt for the first of three who are still on their way.<\/p>\n
And, there was a wedding this weekend, too.<\/p>\n
I have four siblings, so there are five of us in the oldest extant generation of my family plus four spouses.\u00a0 Counting children and step-children, there are eighteen in the second generation with ten spouses.\u00a0 That generation has TWENTY SEVEN kids and three spouses.\u00a0 There is a fourth generation of three babies with two more imminent, and the third generation will increase by one in October.\u00a0 We are peopling the world, so you can see we have a lot to celebrate.<\/p>\n
Of all the celebrations, I’m proudest of those who have graduated from high school and college.\u00a0 I know what it takes to get through college, and I want these kids to know how proud I am of them!\u00a0 Congratulations, on a job well done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
