The Day After: Family Day

Today dawned clear… above the fog.

At 9:30 this morning, the family still remaining in the area, bombarded Cracker Barrel.  We filled two tables and our waitresses were wonderful.

Cousins and our grandchildren, Lydia and Camden.  It’s a good thing he’s so cute with those two front teeth missing, because he’s sure going to be without them for a long time.

Lydia’s mom and my beautiful baby girl, LaNae, with her fiancé, Jimmy.

Camden & Emma’s mom, Leslie, and Lydia & Blaine’s mom, LaNae.  My beautiful daughters.

Sweet Emma.Cousins, Aly, Blaine, and Jamey.  Actually, Jamey is Aly’s uncle and Blaine’s second cousin.  Aly and Blaine are third cousins???  Their mom’s are first cousins.  They are second cousins to each other’s mom and third cousins to each other.  Whew!

Tired old me and my first grandchild, Lydia, who has blossomed into a gorgeous young lady who we are so proud of.

“Fresh Baked” aptly describes how Emily has felt all week.  She was in such pain yesterday, we didn’t think she would make it to the Celebration.  She has a mystery pain in her right side, but not in the right position to be her appendix. 

The Faces of Ken, my very favorite nephew-in-law…

My beautiful favorite niece, Tammy, and her hubby, Ken.  I am rather pleased at how this pictured turned out, but really couldn’t go wrong with these subjects.

Blaine, Emily and Tammy.  (Sorry, Tammy… not my best picture taking.)

Cousins, Camden & Blaine.  Our sweet grandsons.

“It’s my move!”

From Cracker Barrel, we made our way to Sarah’s Chapel Cemetery to take a few pictures.

My brother, Jonny, checking things out.Everything looks good.

I am so happy they put this at the head of Mama’s grave… from Aunt Nella and family.

I sure hope we can all get together again before five years have passed.

Why did I not get one good picture of Ben today????  Ok, here’s a cropped shot of great grandson, Benjamin Circeo.

He’s so handsome and I’m very upset with myself that I didn’t get a better picture of Ben.
