The Day After: Family Day

Today dawned clear… above the fog.100_0169100_0171100_0172100_0177

At 9:30 this morning, the family still remaining in the area, bombarded Cracker Barrel.  We filled two tables and our waitresses were wonderful.100_0178

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.100_0179

Lydia’s mom and my beautiful baby girl, LaNae, with her fiancé, Jimmy. 100_0181

Camden & Emma’s mom, Leslie, and Lydia & Blaine’s mom, LaNae.  My beautiful daughters. 100_0183

Sweet Emma.100_0184Cousins, 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!100_0185

Tired old me and my first grandchild, Lydia, who has blossomed into a gorgeous young lady who we are so proud of.100_0187

“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.  "fresh baked" aptly describes how Emily was feeling

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.100_0240-001

He’s so handsome and I’m very upset with myself that I didn’t get a better picture of Ben.100_0106
