Special Times to Remember

It is so important to document the special occasions in our lives and the lives of our family.  We so treasure being able to share another holiday like Easter with our parents.  We try to gather everyone around and get that big group photo taken while everyone is fresh and all together waiting for the food...so here we are at Easter...the only one missing today is "Mom", but she is certainly in our hearts and our thoughts...we all say grace and give our thanks for having the other great grandparents still able to share the day with us.
Bottom row...Addie (3.5) Dina (mom!) Tristan (2) Lily (7.5) Great Grandma Elsa, Papa Bill, Ellie (9) Papa Ben
Top row......Jamie (dad) Jalen (3.75!) Aaron (dad) Lacey (mom) Caleb 11.75 ME, Papa Scott!!
...You are probably wondering why I mentioned everyone and gave their ages (well except for the 'elders'!okay, I may as well add their ages too as long as I want to remember everything...Elsa is 88, Bill is 88.5 and my dad is 89.5!!  Scott and I are both 61...so there you have it!)  remember this is the blog to "Remember" things...so in say 20 or 30 years, I may not remember how old everyone was when this picture was taken...and to be honest, I may not remember everyone's name...oh how I pray that doesn't happen, but you never know!!  Now I have it documented and I will look back with loving memories of these times gathering us around Dina's table to celebrate yet another Easter.
...And that brings up another thought...what will happen to this blog when I am gone?  hmmmm...things to ponder, for sure...
