Family reunion

august-2009-262-blog

In 1902 my great grandparents, Walfrid &  Lina, traveled by ship from Sweden to the USA and started all of this.   We have spent the last 2 days visiting with long lost relatives and reminiscing about the good old days.

I have always thought that my cousin Lisa resembled my mom and I love how this photo captures that.

My mom & dad done us proud in the blind-folded lawnmower races.  Mama takes competition seriously.

Of course I have 100’s of photos to go through and post, but this is it for now.  I am sorry I missed visiting with uncle Larry & cousin Sheena, but at least I got to see their faces:)

I need to be up at 4:30am to get ready for my trip to Germany(induction)tomorrow morning.  I have been in a prayerful mood all day, hoping all goes well with baby Hazel.  Levi came down with a virus, so I stuffed him full of Vitamin C and ordered him to sleep all day so he can hopefully kick it and cuddle with baby.

Chances are I will be tweeting live from the delivery room, so if you twitter, see you there!
