so I been tagged....

Well, home this evening and after the funeral today for my grandma, just seems like I should do some catching up.... It was great to see so many of my cousins and aunts, uncles, great aunts and great uncles and family friends that I haven't seen in so many years. So many of my cousins now have families of their own and are all grown up. Where has time gone? My brothers and I are the oldest of the grandkids, so it just seems like they were always little. I saw one cousin today that I used to babysit and when he was potty training, he sat with his underwear on his head... Now he is this big guy and out of high school. His younger brother actually just graduated from HS. So it was nice to see them, despite the circumstances. I have one cousin that now lives in PA so it was great to see him. I will be going there end of July so we are planning to see each other there then too. Will be great to see his boys. His oldest is slightly older than Lucas. And now he also has a daughter and another baby on the way. Like I said before - this is a big family!!! My mom is the oldest of 13... But life just seems to keep us so busy that is too easy to lose track of those that matter most to us. Hug your families and keep them close.

I was tagged by my friend Shauna.

4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
