My sister and parents came all the way from California to share this momentous occasion with me. My husband and children were by my side selling tickets, directing traffic, greeting guests and some just choose to stay out of my way! Wistie surprised me and flew in on Saturday!

What Families Do
I grew up with a large extended family. I grew up hearing the adult whisperings. Sometimes there was muffled laughter, sometimes muted cries. Shock, grief, joy, love. It is what family is to me. Living in the Colonies among people I was not related to by blood provided a different experience, an experience beyond family …
Blogging Buddies
The other night or, more accurately, morning, I was waiting for TWILIGHT to start and “the moms” were visiting.

Melancholy Smile
Tonight we had a recording session with Chris and Mike. They practiced 13 songs they have selected for their music CD. It was fun to listen to them sing together again. It has been a long time. Their voices blend beautifully. I don’t know too much about music, but one of the things I loved …
It is all I Ask
Ciera is having a late night with like 10 other 13-year-old girls. Pizza, root beer, giggles, games, popcorn and then they started a movie.
