 | Tim's Mom celebrated her 60th Birthday on July
4th! |
Yep, she's a firecracker
baby!
(I KNOW! She looks so YOUNG!) |
|
 | Here's just a few photos from our
yearly gathering.
|
 | I am sorry I didn't get a better "photo
album" together to share...
|
I hope that some of the other family members
can help me fill in the HUGE gap!
 | I missed lots of folks and
events! (I promise I'll add more photos
if more are provided.) |

Seaside
Oregon was this year's location. We rented two great beach houses and all
our families had plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other's company.
The sun was shining, the beach was inviting, the fireworks were
amazing...and I spent the entire 5 days CRAZED with worry! I kept
thinking, "I should be doing more to help out! There's SO many
of us and they're all on vacation too! What can I do to help
more? Who's with our kids? Are they into something? Are
they 'bothering' anyone?! Perhaps I should help make dinner?
Oh, I could pick up some of the mess. Hey, where's that
vacuum...?" |
 |
Naturally,
I was making MYSELF crazy. It was a fantastic vacation -- Tim was
great helping with our kids! Heck! I couldn't ask for more! |
 |
Alas,
I just couldn't stop worrying about every little detail! |
 |
So,
NEXT year I'll try to relax more... |
