Embrace The Camera: Cousins

Growing up in my family meant growing up with cousins. That's a foreign concept for Tim; most of his cousins are much younger, so they didn't grow up as playmates. In my family, cousins were our best friends! And there's a lot of them too! My grandma was one of 6 kids; her brother had 8 children... and I'm not even mentioning all the kids from all the other aunts & uncles! Our last family reunion we had to have in a church fellowship hall because we're too big to fit at one person's home. My mom and her cousins can sit and giggle and talk for hours on end... it's fun to watch them together.

I reminisce today because my great aunt is not doing very well. She had a stroke last week, and she has bleeding on her brain. All the family that can be there (in Florida) is with her. She's supposed to be moved to a hospice facility today. I hate being so far away from everything. I know my mom does too!

So, in light of remembering family time, I am {embracing} cousins today! These pics are from 2 years ago when the twins were little , but they're pics of some of our cousins! I love these ladies...wish we all lived closer together!

I LOVE Thursdays... it's my opportunity to share the pics of our family's "grown ups!" It's fun for me ... PLUS, it'll be fun for my kids to look back when they're older and see how WE looked when they were growing up!
