Family

After spending 3 days in one house with over 19 other family members, this past week was just too quiet for me.  I know my family didn't come together under one roof for the happiest of reasons, but still I miss the commotion, I miss the constant activity, I miss having other adults around all day everyday. 

When I was younger I wanted to write a book. A book about my entire extended family on my mom's side staying in one huge cottage that we all rented for Christmas.  I never did write that book but part of me has started thinking about writing it again.  Most of the story would be fictional but the personalities and traits of my different family members would hopefully be true to who they really are. I think it would be a fun project to tackle.

After experiencing the loss of my Grandma over 5 years ago and now her hubby {my Grandpa} last week....I feel like writing something that allows my kids to know who my Grandparents where. They were both very special people in my life and I'm very sad that my kids will not get to grow up with these two great people in there life like my bro,cousins and I did. 

One of the very very few photos I have of Kaylin and her Great Grandpa. I love this photo even if Kaylin doesn't look to happy!!
