seeing each other again and again!

These grand-nephews and niece of mine are priceless.  At times I have worried about how often we were going to be able to see them (another "remember me" moment in my life), but it has worked out to be several times a year lately.  Often enough for ties to bind.  I am grateful for those who make this possible.

They used to be the little ones in the family but now they are "the big kids".  My grandchildren adore them and at a recent family wedding we could see them helping out and interacting with all their little cousins.

This summer my Mom was determined to make them each a family history book so that they would know her and my dad's side of the family.  She was able to personally give them to them and they were pretty excited.  I had a conversation with Rocio, who loves my Mom and Dad, and she and husband are all on board to make sure they know that part of their heritage.

These kids have their Mom's family, their Dad's family and their step-Dad's family which means dozens and dozens of cousins, aunties, uncles, grandparents, etc. who love them.  The more the better I say.  They are so loved.

(So sorry, have to put this song on again!)
