I never put up family photos, but figured at Christmas, I'd go ahead. And I'll even go the distance and tell you the kids' names. Bottom photo: Standing left to right: Jonathan 28 (oldest), Joseph 22 (who's joining the National Guard), Willa 15, and Jacob 24. Sitting: Emma 11 (the least one), Jonah 17 (youngest boy), Anna 26 (who's dating sweet Indian boyfriend), and Joshua 20. That's the lot of them.
This afternoon, while the turkey was in the oven, Gary stayed home to watch it and the kids went with me to visit my mom. I felt a bit overwhelmed, having them all with me. We filled up the elevator. One of those mother's moments, you know. They don't come often, but when they do, you need to stop a minute and savor them.
Funny. Gary just laughed when he saw the photos he uploaded. Hard to get everyone to cooperate. And personally I think I look traumatized and G. thinks he'd fit into Duck Dynasty just fine. Glad he doesn't wear camouflage clothes.
Anyway, Merry Christmas. Now, go get some rest. :)
