Day 10: Bittersweet Day

Today was that day of the family reunion where we are all very settled into spending time with each other, eating great food, and beginning to realize that some of our loved ones will soon be heading back to their homes. For me, this is always a bittersweet day for I know that my children and grandchildren that have been able to make it to the family reunion this year will be gone by the end of the day. You never really understand how much you love someone until you are separated from them by both time and distance.

Today was also the day that we did all of our family portraits which are always a complex and busy event. The majority of the family left throughout the day and the rest of us will be heading out tomorrow. As always, it has been a blessing to be able to spend time with family.


My family that was here this year. We are missing two of my children and their spouses, two of Laura's children and their spouses, and five of our grandchildren.


Here is Shelbie with a snake that she caught. It was fun watching the kids catch snakes, frogs, and even crawdads.
