Well, here I go with Part Two. So, I had some family come into town for my cousin Ryan's funeral. Although it was great to see them, I wish it were under happier circumstances. A couple of posts ago, I wrote about my cousin Amy. Well, her parents, Jim and Shirley from Minnesota, were two of the people that came to visit. They got to spend some time at my parent's house with my kids. Jamie warmed up my Uncle Jim and was soon dragging him around. I like to call this pic: James and James! Yup they have the same real name:
My brother John, and his wife Clara also came to visit for a week from New Mexico.
Shot number two:
My brother John and his daughter Alysia. Hard to believe I have a 19 year old niece!
Here is my dad's sister Shirley and her hubby Jim. Sure wish that I got to see more of 'em!
My dad's baby sister, Lorraine and her hubby Ben. They live in Clearfield. They are so great!
Here is my Grandma, my Grandpa. They have been married for over 50 years. They are so cute and so funny. I always love to see them. Also in the pic are my brother John and his wife Clara. Oh, also pictured are their dogs "Little Boy" and "Be Be":
Here is one of my dad's other sister Jeanette and her husband Ross with his daughter Aletha, Son-In-Law Dan, and their baby. Despite the recent loss in their family, they are being so strong, I really admire them for that. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and I hope they know how much we love them!
PS. These are only a few pics of my dad's family! Missing are his two brothers and one more sister, plus lots of cousins, and lots of cousin's kids. On my "Lovato" side I happen to have 15 cousins and they have a total of 13 kids themselves. I LOVE my huge family and wish we saw each other more often. The thing about family that I love is that you have a common past, and how time never seems to change the deep friendship no matter how long it's been since you've been together. Families are the best!
