are you in my square?: Family

Family is such a great thing to have in our crazy life. When we grow up and start having our own families we tend to loss contact of the extended family that we have. Well on Tuesday September 21/2010 the kids and I arrived home from school to find a vehicle parked in the driveway with a California licences plate on it. I was in shock to know that my mom had convinced my uncle Buster and aunt Dee Dee to drive an extra hour from Lacombe to come for a visit. It was a tearful reunion, I haven't seen my Uncle and Aunt for 12 years and missed them dearly. We had such a great visit and really could have stayed up MUCH later but in the short amount of time that we had we did get a lot of catching up done and finding people on FB(what a great way to connect with family sooo far away). I did get pictures of my Aunt with the girls and myself. They are keepers!!

The previous weekend my mothers siblings meet at her house to all go see their brother that has been battling cancer since June. So my dad sent me a picture of the group, and an extra picture of my uncle that looks like Kenny Rogers. When we would go visit my G & G Heningers farm and the aunt's and uncle's would be there. My uncle Fred would always get out his guitar and sing to us. Our Favorite was the Gambler. I think it was because the grandkids all new the words and we wouldn't really "sing" but try to out "sing" everybody else. Memories of great Thanksgiving's, Christmas's and Easter's!! I will never forget how close we were when we were all with G & G Heninger. How I miss them and the rest of my extended family. It so Fun to remember the Great Memories of Family!!
