family. . . .

" a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not: the traditional family."

We had a "fan-tab-u-lous day!  Drove to Indiana for a family picnic with my dad's side of the family.  Perfect weather and perfect fellowship with family.  You just never realize how much you miss your family until you spend time with them. . . .several commented that we should have been planning these picnics years ago, but we are so thankful that we are doing them NOW!  So very blessed to have some amazing friends that are family! and in a few weeks we will have my aunt and uncle here, from Texas, all to ourselves!  Of course all the manboys can't wait until they can listen to Uncle Russ's Vietnam stories! That is one amazing military man!
